The 9 Pillars of Practical Paranoia

Workshop with Chris Young

This workshop is built for cybersecurity analysts who are tired of chasing frameworks and want to focus on what actually works. The 9 Pillars are the core principles of infrastructure security. They are proven, repeatable, and often ignored until it’s too late.

You’ll learn how to build systems that survive failure. You’ll see how real breaches happened and how they could have been stopped with basic discipline and better habits.

What You’ll Learn

You’ll explore 9 foundational principles that separate resilient infrastructure from breach-prone chaos. Each pillar is backed by real-world failures, practical fixes, and tools you can use right away.

Topics include:

  • ✅ How to shrink your attack surface without breaking functionality
    ✅ Why patching delays still lead to massive outages
    ✅ What visibility really means—and how to get it
    ✅ How access controls fail when they’re not enforced
    ✅ Why tabletop exercises expose more than vulnerabilities
    ✅ What automation should handle so humans don’t miss it
    ✅ How to build resilience that survives ransomware
    ✅ What metrics matter and how to monitor them without drowning in noise

You’ll leave with a tactical framework, and see how each pillar maps to an actual breach that could have been prevented.
