Defence against the Dark Arts: Learning the difference between a Security Strategy and a Plan

Clear Cyber Security Strategies and Plans are critical to the success of any security program. Despite this, it is common for organisations and sub teams to interchange Strategies with Plans.

Through the analogy of Harry Potter, this talk will educate the audience on: • Order of the Phoenix: What is a strategy and when is it needed? • Horcrux Hunt: What is a plan and when is it needed? • Hogwarts School of Cyber-craft and Strategy: How to write a plan and create a strategy.
