Épisode 44: Embrasser l'échec de la cybersécurité en apprenant par essais et erreurs EPISODE 44: Embracing Failure in Cybersecurity by Learning Through Trial and Error |
Texte |
This episode we are joined by the brilliant Stefan Gaillard, the co-founder and current chair of the Journal of Trial & Error, a journal dedicated to highlighting the importance of trial and error in scientific practice and scholarship.Trial and error is part of the scientific method but most of us are risk averse because we are so afraid of failure or we take great lengths to cover up anyone finding out that we have failed. There is so much shame around admitting to failure, especially in cybersecurity when, lets face it, most of us will experience the failure of our security controls eventually. But to hide from failure, not only from ourselves but also our peers, means missing out on important learning opportunities. We need to change this! If we don\'t think about failure more, we are doomed to keep failing.This episode we explore the importance of removing the stigma from failure, the benefits AND the dangers of tech\'s \'fail-fast\' mentality, what it\'s like to live in the information overload age and finally, the importance of trial and error. Key Takeaways:Removing the Stigma of Failure: Learn why it\'s crucial to view failure as a stepping stone rather than a setback. Stefan discusses how changing our perception of failure can lead to more innovative solutions.Blame the System, Not the Individual: Discover the importance of considering human factors in cybersecurity incidents. Stefan explains why blaming individuals is often counterproductive and how systemic changes can prevent future errors.The Information Overload Age: We\'ve left the "Information Age" behind and entered the era of "Information Overload." With so much data and misinformation circulating, how do we stay focused and make informed decisions? Stefan shares his thoughts on how to navigate this landscape while avoiding cognitive overload.Fail Fast, Innovate Faster: What are the pros and cons of a "fail-fast" mentality in tech? Stefan takes us through the benefits of quick iteration and the dangers of overpromising, using examples from AI winters and the current AI hype cycle. Understanding when to abandon a product or pivot can be the difference between success and stagnation.Changing your mind is part of progress. Don\'t fear shifting narratives when presented with new facts.Keywords: cybersecurity, trial and error, testing, failure, experimentationShow NotesThe Journal of Trial and ErrorThe British Library\'s Cybersecurity Incident ReviewCountering the Cognitive, Linguistic, and Psychological Underpinnings Behind Susceptibility to Fake News: A Review of Current Literature With Special Focus on the Role of Age and Digital LiteracyOverpromising in science and technology: An evaluative conceptualizationTen simple rules for failing successfully in academiaAbout Stefan GaillardStefan Gaillard is the co-founder and current chair of the Journal of Trial & Error, a journal dedicated to highlighting the importance of trial and error in scientific practice and scholarship.
