Winter is Coming… But These Cyber Tips Can Help You Prepare

April 29, 2014 By Corey Nachreiner

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:

  • Six InfoSec Tips I Learned from Game of Thrones – Help Net Security

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)

    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!
