Lets Make Fun of Cyber Security
This talk is based on cartoons in cyber security and sharing core and important cyber security concepts
from people, process, technology perspective to the audience in that fashion. I have leveraged famous
themes/cartoons to share the life of a cyber professional, how risk management is done, what are the
threats facing the world today, the world of geeky nerds, privacy, cyber warfare, cyber political satire
in an all-in-one presentation. This is my attempt to get a little off beat from serious cyber talks and
pave the way for learning by laughing and learning.
