Nerds on a plane: what we can learn from the aviation industry
Ever watched Air Crash Investigation? You may not be an aviation nerd, but there are so many fascinating parallels between security and the aviation industry: the layering of safety controls, making sure there are different types of security controls in place, the improvements made after bad things happened, etc.
​
Key takeaways: In this talk I’ll discuss some of some notable examples in both the aviation and security industry and what we can learn and take away from that as security professionals. Other industries are vastly more mature in dealing with safety issues and we can learn so much from them in security. Note: You don’t have to be an aviation geek to enjoy this talk, promise!
