Airlines don’t “do safety”, they are safe. This wasn’t always the case. By accepting that humans are fallible and building systems that both anticipate human error and poor individual human risk decisions, the airline industry improved safety. Cybersecurity can learn the key lesson from aviation’s experience that security this is all about culture and move from “doing security” to being secure.


RSA® Conference, the world’s leading information security conferences and expositions, today concluded its 31st annual event at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

Several of the most pressing topics discussed during this year’s Conference included issues surrounding privacy and surveillance, the positive and negative impacts of machine learning and artificial intelligence, the nuances of risk and policy, and cybersecurity-focused innovations across crypto and blockchain.
