The idea of infosec speed debates is to pick a topic and debate it betweeen the two panalists. A flip of the coin determines if the panel member has to argue for or against the idea in under 5 minutes.
Topics of the discussion
User authentication doesn’t work. Conclusion: Maybe.
End user education works. Conclusion: Dream on.
Is it posssible to talk about security research and not represent your employer? Conclusion: “Its the faukt of he press”
Do vulnerabilities still matter? Conclusion: It matters, but we are becoming unsensitive to them.
Metrics are bunk. Conclusion: A fool with a tool, is still a fool.
Besides of getting the opinion of some smart people, this panel was a lot of fun too.
