Dustin
Dustin works on security at a token factory, where his threat model includes nation-states, his own employer's product, and possibly the future. He used to do disaster response for the United Nations, which he describes as "similar." He builds agents to do his job and would very much like to be replaced by them. He also rides an electric unicycle everywhere and would like you to know it's the most practical way to get around. He has the dental work to show for it.
Sessions
A single wheel. No handlebars. No seat (usually). No brakes, in the traditional sense. 55 mph & 50 miles on a charge. Fits under a desk, charges from a wall outlet, and makes you look like a wizard, a lunatic, or both, depending on the lighting.
I won't be giving lessons at this talk, but I'm happy to teach throughout the weekend! If you'd like to give it a try, please fill out this liability release.
I used to do emergency telecommunications for the United Nations. The satellite link, the field network, the thing the medics and the logisticians and the press and everyone else needs before they can do anything at all. Ebola response in West Africa. The earthquake in Haiti. Puerto Rico after Maria. The work was triage in the literal sense: not enough bandwidth, not enough power, not enough time, who gets the link first.
Then I left to do security at a token factory. People ask why. There's usually an unspoken second half to the question still hanging in the air.
This talk is the long version of the answer.
