QQ
good adventures are supposed to be challenging

on a plate
this is your adventure
let’s get started
prepare for the (inevitable) sequel protect your treasure build amazing
machines always have an escape route watch your back take the road well travelled prepare yourself plan your route (but keep it flexible)
prepare yourself
security starts with education
security is a team sport
plan your route (but keep it flexible)
design before implementation
examine all the options
security requires compromises
take the road well travelled
follow in someone else’s footsteps
know where to look for direction
expose yourself to scrutiny
build amazing machines
build amazing machines
security needs a robot army
immutable architectures help security
watch your back
know everything there is to know
use clever tools to build clever things
Watch for expensive distractions
more alarms and no surprises
security is the long game
watch for spies
always have an escape route
have a backup (plan)
be prepared to action it
store your backups securely
protect your treasure
know the value of what you have around you
vs. vs. value is relative
secure data starts with secure storage
so about those passwords?
secure systems need gatekeepers
prepare for the (inevitable) sequel
celebrate your successes
learn from your mistakes
prepare for the next adventure
the world is a terrible place
secure your own adventure
