Information Security The Invisible War
Information Security: The Invisible War
Information security protects the decisions modern life depends on. This documentary traces the discipline from seals and wartime cryptography to ransomware, IAM, encryption, TLS, HSMs, DLP, EDR, zero trust, critical infrastructure, AI and professional certifications.
Why can encrypted data still be stolen? What does an HSM actually protect? How do antivirus and EDR differ? And which qualifications—CISSP, CISM, Security+, CCSP, CRISC, GIAC or OSCP—fit different security careers? This 68-minute documentary connects the technologies to the people, processes and consequences around them.
