Description
We are all familiar with the saying: "Trust, but Verify", and certainly in many cybersecurity situations, this is an excellent guideline. Yet, the cybersecurity domain is complex and dynamic and so is the organizational context. When we bring the two together, one cannot simply apply this mantra everywhere. In this talk, I will discuss the topic of Trust in cybersecurity, drawing out some nuances in the domain, and hopefully highlighting those areas where distrust is appropriate, and others where trust is well advised.
