Far too much of what we do in security does not have any real impact on security, not to mention that it does not map to any realistic threats that you have decided to mitigate as part of your overall risk management strategy. Join us, as we cover the top ten things that security professionals do that do not have any real impact on security. In some cases, these steps actually have exactly the opposite effect, as they compromise confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability instead of improve it.
