We talk to Chris Sanders today, who has been steeped in the world of SecOps and detection/response for many years. After many years of writing books and training folks in the cybersecurity industry, he started delving into cognitive psychology and educational effectiveness. He leverages this knowledge in the training classes he builds and delivers.
Today we'll discuss why it seems like defenders are still failing, despite the security industry largely (and arguably) receiving the resources it has been requesting.
Chris Sanders is an information security instructor, author, and researcher focused on the intersection of cyber security, education, and cognitive psychology where he studies security analyst cognition and performance.
