Why do security professionals fail? As a CTO, a former NSA employee

who seem to fail to achieve their goals. This presentation will
chronicle the good, the bad and the ugly in our industry. What works
and what doesn't seem to make much difference in getting consistently
positive information security results for individuals and also for
