Tradecraft Tradeoff - Choosing to be Safer on the Internet has a Cost | Tom Patterson | TEDxAugusta 

Applying proven spycraft techniques to secure yourself and your business.
The impact of attacks on our privacy, security, and business can be diminished by learning tradecraft techniques that have proven successful in the battlefield. Tom links his middle east zero-trust survival experiences to today’s Internet world of phishing, ransomware, identity theft, and worse. His optimistic outcomes will help everyone from individuals to executives, and can be practiced everywhere around the world-- if they dare. Tom Patterson, author of Mapping Security and acclaimed security expert with three decades of security experience, takes early lessons learned from his war zone tradecraft to deliver innovative security thinking and technology that has defended national borders, transacted trillions of dollars, delivered energy to millions, and secured nuclear aircraft carrier and space shuttle launches. Tom has been a CEO, Chief Trust Officer, CISO, Deloitte Partner, and was IBM's first Chief eCommerce Strategist. He has advised corporate boards and the FBI, Secret Service, Homeland Security, and the White House, where he is currently (2018) working on the President’s NSTAC Cyber Moonshot.
