BSidesATL 2018 - Ozymandius and InfoSec RockStars (George Roberson)

Addressing the “Standing on the Shoulders of Giants” theme, I want to discuss what happens when giants fall, and how we can build a solid foundation to support those who come after us. This talk will cover how the resilience of an organization depends on those talented people who are pillars of institutional knowledge, but just as much on how prepared we are to lose them.

George Roberson is the Information Security Architect for United Community Banks, Inc. Half of his life has been spent supporting technology and security. He has a deep understanding of the value of “institutional knowledge” and has been around long enough to see giants rise and fall. A self-described “documentation freak” who writes everything with consideration for his own mortality. Like Moses come down from the mountain, he wields the FFIEC-CAT and the CSC-20 as the two tablets brought down from Sinai.
