Configuration security as a game of pursuit intercept

Track: Security
Abstract
In this session we will take a look at the emerging field of cloud security posture management and how we can approach the problem space using a class of board games known as pursuit/intercept. Using the game Scotland Yard as a visual illustration we'll explore the cognitive and technical limitations that all CSPM systems face and what you should look for when evaluating the strengths and weakness of CSPM vendors.
