Security Confessional: Why and How We Make Security Compromises

Description	Everyone makes digital security compromises. We sometimes reuse passwords, talk over unsecured channels, and open questionable files from strangers. Even security professionals make mistakes, because strong security tools and practices are sometimes challenging to use. In this discussion, we will share our experiences of our personal security compromises – and laugh at how absurdly easy it is to make them. We’ll talk about places where we know we take security shortcuts, and identify common challenges. While we will learn from one another about how we can improve our security habits, our primary goal will be to vent about our experiences. In the process, we can better understand how commonplace security compromises really are.
