Jack Reciter discusses the art of solving novel problems in infosec and IT security, emphasizing that many real-world incidents lack clear playbooks or obvious ownership 0:00-0:06.
Key Takeaways:
• Novel problems often emerge from unexpected events, like a hacker deleting the Despacito video right as it became the first to reach 5 billion views on YouTube 0:10-0:18
• A core challenge of novel problems is determining who is responsible for solving them—such as whether the video deletion was the uploader's problem or YouTube's 0:22-0:34
• Restoring something as significant as the most-viewed video ever is uniquely complicated, with no established procedure to follow 0:38-0:52
The talk highlights that in infosec, the hardest part of novel problems isn't just the technical fix—it's figuring out who should fix it and how, when no precedent exists.
