It's Maps or Gaps All the Way Down
This interactive presentation opens with a review of some common problems with detecting security incidents – false positives, false negatives, too much information, too little information, incorrect information, and so on.
We’ll consider these issues in the larger context of some important concepts – ““the map is not the territory,”” (Alfred Korzybski) and the limitations of what Danny Kahneman refers to as System 1 and System 2 thinking.
Lastly we’ll look at some things that have been done to make detection engineering easier and consider what else can be done.
