Terranova Security is Bringing Poutine and Cyber Security to RSA 2019

An unlikely combination to make the world cyber better!

What could poutine and cyber security awareness possibly have in common? And what’s the connection with RSA Conference 2019? Both will be showcased by the Terranova Security team next month at the Moscone Center during the RSA Conference in San Francisco. Both make our world better.

What is Poutine?

What is poutine anyway? Poutine pronounced /pu.tin/ is a French-Canadian classic that is served across Canada. Poutine can be crazy delicious. It’s all in the preparation. Freshly made fries cooked until perfectly crispy, squeaky fresh cheese curds cut into small pieces, and well-seasoned made-from-scratch gravy can come together beautifully, no matter how odd the combination may sound to the uninitiated.

A Fascinating Origin

Legend has it that poutine was first put together in the 1950s. Several towns claim to be the birthplace of this beloved Canadian snack-meal-diner specialty. A favorite version puts the birth in Warwick, Quebec in 1957. The story is that at the request of a truck driver who wanted something hot to go, Fernand Lachance combined hot French fries and cheese curds and proclaimed “Ça va faire une maudite poutine!” or, in English, “It will make a damn mess!”

RSA Conference 2019 Theme is Better

This year’s RSA Conference theme is Better. According to the RSA Conference 2019 website, Better means working hard to find better solutions. Making better connections with peers from around the world. And keeping the digital world safe so everyone can get on with making the real world a better place. And there’s the connection with poutine!

Terranova Security is bringing poutine to RSA! Booth # 4314 in North Expo will host the conference’s only Poutine Tasting Bar. Our mission is to provide a meeting area and cyber security awareness learning zone for CISOs and security awareness professionals. The poutine tasting bar and learning zone will provide a unique place to come together over three days to network, discuss, share ideas and learn from each other about: cyber security best practices, how to reduce human risk; how to best instill a security culture, how to make the business case for security awareness and phishing simulation training and make organizations around the world cyber better!

Cyber Security Awareness Learning Zone

The Poutine Tasting Bar, the focal point in the Terranova Security booth will serve up that delicious combination of French fries, cheese and gravy as well as provide CISOs with a dedicated cyber security awareness learning zone.

When it comes to cyber security awareness, what defines better? We believe a people-centric approach and strategy will help drive cyber security success within an organization. Better is when your cyber security awareness training program focuses on the specific needs of your organization and your employees.

What began north of the border by no means stays north of the border. We are excited to meet you at RSA and just as the truck drivers helped bring poutine across Canada, into the US and abroad, Terranova Security is proud to bring poutine and cyber security awareness to RSA next month!
