Irfahn Khimji will be discussing translating security to the business. As security professionals we are often asked what the heck we are actually doing and why the business should continue to spend money on us. This talk will help put some context around what it is we do and how to convey that to the laymen that sign our paycheques.
Irfahn has been working in the information security space for over ten years focused on vulnerability detection and risk calculation. Most recently, he has been working with large organizations to help prioritize their security spending in areas that yield the most return on investment.
