Hi folks,
I’ve given a load of presentations on information security topics. I purposefully focus on bridging the gap between the general users who have no technical expertise and the techies who often have difficulty relating to general users. For presentations to users, I dumb down technical issues in ways anybody can understand, emphasizing why they’re important and the potential impact of ignoring them. For presentations to techies, I focus on soft skills like communications and relationship building, trying to provide some incentive and means for better interactions outside of the IT world.
I came across an old (well, about a year old) general user presentation the other day that I think is worth sharing. It pushes the audience to understand some slightly more technical concepts, but it’s resonated well each time I’ve presented it. If nothing else, some of the example slides are good for demonstrating the concepts of various web application attacks.
Feel free to take these slides and use them as you see fit. Modify, edit – whatever works for you. And please don’t hesitate to provide feedback if you have it. I’m always interested in improving the deck for the next presentation.
