May 8th, 2025 – “Root Cause Analysis (and Getting it Right)”

Hello Hackers!

This month we are joined by Floofinfried who will be presenting their talk “Root Cause Analysis (and Getting it Right)”:

People talk at length about RCA reports, and the cybersecurity industry seems to be slowly settling on a standardized method for going about RCAs. However, there are several other industries that have had this nailed down for decades (for example, aviation and occupational safety) that we can learn from to improve our methodology. In this talk, we’ll go through the basics of the RCA process from multiple perspectives in order to deepen our understanding of the process and do better in the future.

Bio: Aspiring NPC with experience in several aspects of Blue Team work and a bit of experience in the physical & social engineering side of Red Team. Not much to write home about, but I’m here to help where I can.

Meeting will be on Discord. If you need an invite, look no further.

Talk starts at 6:12 PM U.S. Central, but feel free to hop in early and chat.
