Uncouth Users, Dopey Developers and Crazy Cryptographers OR Why It's Never the Architect's Fault - Mike Bursell, Confidential Computing Consortium & Christopher Robinson, OpenSSF
Tuesday May 19, 2026 2:10pm - 2:50pm CDT
200H (Level Two)
In this session, two jaded cybersecurity architects will present a taxonomy of personae who passively or actively get in the way of good security, explain why it's all definitely your fault and express frustration that the Golden Age of Cybersecurity[tm] is always eluding their grasp. With examples and humour/humor (if they can agree on a spelling), your hosts will encourage you to do better next time and point out all the obvious (to them) things you've been doing wrong all these years. And why open source would fix all of them. Almost.
