Topic: The Challenge of Breach Transparency

Every industry concerned with safety has a process for publishing the details of accidents, incidents, and failures. Cybersecurity has yet to reach this milestone, and hiding the details of failures is holding us back. This talk will argue for the need for breach details to go public, and share strategies for finding and using some little-known sources of detailed breach data.
