Last month, I shared a Help Net Security article I wrote combining two things I love; Information Security (InfoSec) and The Walking Dead. If you haven’t read that yet, feel free to check it out. This month, I continue my pop culture series by mashing up InfoSec with another admired book and TV series; Game of Thrones.
The fictional world of Westeros is an unforgiving land, where inhabitants must quickly learn to defend themselves if they have any hope of survival. Unfortunately, the Internet also seems to be evolving into a fairly dangerous landscape, where just visiting the wrong web site might infect your computer. Is there anything a network security professional can learn from the medieval warriors of Westeros?
That’s exactly what my latest article explores. If you’re interested in the Six InfoSec Tips I Learned from Game of Thrones, check out my article below, and join me for A Song of Ice and Firewalls:

If you enjoy the article, and want to share your own pop culture security tips, I’d love to hear from you! Unfortunately, Help Net Security doesn’t have commenting in their articles, but if you want to share some Game of Thrones tips of your own, please feel free to comment below. — Corey Nachreiner, CISSP (@SecAdept)
Corey, just read your Winter is coming…article, and although I am not a GOT follower you made a very important article interesting by adding all the references. Enjoyed it.
I read this post completely on the topic of the difference of newest
and preceding technologies, it’s awesome article.
You’re so interesting! I do not think I’ve truly read through a single
thing like that before. So good to discover somebody with unique thoughts on this topic.
Really.. thanks for starting this up. This web site is something that’s needed on the internet,
someone with some originality!
We stumbled over here by a different website and thought I might as well check things out.
I like what I see so now i’m following you.
Look forward to looking at your web page again.
Very energetic blog, I loved that bit. Will there be a
part 2?
