If when you are faced with a technical problem, it just seems to solve itself, then this talk may not be for you. Otherwise, join me to learn more about an incredibly important and often under-evolved skill for cybersecurity practitioners. You likely have access to a tremendous number of tools and endless data to look at. What are some different approaches to solving security, application, and business problems? Why aren't these skills taught? How can you learn and approach them? Calling on real situations as examples, I'll talk through the many approaches and the ways that I've had success solving business and technology problems as the security guy.
