Diversity "Sucks" by Kiley Williams
Day 3 - April 29
Hackers love homogeneity, because that means that their attacks are predictable. Today, almost every piece of technology is exactly the same as all of the others of its type, which means one attack can succeed against them all. Diversity is a hacker’s worst nightmare, but it is a defender’s best friend. During this journey into the world of cybersecurity, we will learn how to apply diversity to our technology, and explore the tools and techniques that can keep us safe as the connected world becomes increasingly more dangerous.
