Also, to give Ira Winkler some credit after bashing his utility sector remarks, his presentation below on organizational security, including risk and how people are a very key element in a security program, are spot on. Focusing more on applications, the second presentation below provides some great insights into defense in depth strategies with some real world perspective.
