Larkin Ryder - [Keynote] What's New or Not in 2020: Are we Making Progress on the Intractable Security Problems?

It's the end of the decade and time to look back on which parts of the mission of Information Security professionals have progressed and which are still just treading water.

I'll take a review of the highs and lows, noting the common problems that are firmly in the review mirror (we hope) and which ones continue to be a daily struggle.
