When systems break (and they regularly do) we often turn to root cause analysis to understand what went wrong. While this approach will hopefully prevent that individual failure from reoccurring, other, perhaps closely related parts of the system are still prone to cause the same outcome. Different cause, similar effect.

From a decade of intentionally breaking systems, Shaanan presents new ways to find the systemic causes of faults: whether these be inorganizations, digital systems, or physical systems.

• How to build better models to find failures in large-scale operations.
• Ways that the adversarial mindset can identify weaknesses before they become a crisis.
• Plus, a good few cyber war-stories!
