Session
This talk follows the trope of Bob and Alice placed into Lewis Carol's universe to highlight that the current system for cybersecurity is not working and to frame a better solution. Bob is an analyst with a traditional cyber education navigating big name tools and their disparate UIs. Alice is an analyst that has only received OJT and operates from a single looking glass. We will navigate the same threat landscape from both perspectives and highlight the differences to uncover a new framework.
