Confessions of a Dirty Hacker: Over Two Decades as a Hacking Curmudgeon

Tom Liston Bad Wolf Security Principal Consultant Speaker

#Cybersecurity, #Threat Intelligence

21-05-2024 11:10 21-05-2024 11:55 Europe/Madrid Confessions of a Dirty Hacker: Over Two Decades as a Hacking Curmudgeon In the course of this talk, Tom Liston will describe how the security landscape has changed over the past two decades and yet has remained very much the same. Using various war stories (where the names have been changed to protect the not-so-innocent) he’ll outline the challenges that the security community has faced forever and still continues to face today. He might even demo a new tool –something he wrote that will show you just how bad the current security landscape actually is. Cybersecurity Congress room

Adversaries are Getting Smarter in the Cloud

Joan Garcia CrowdStrike Cloud Security Practice Lead, Southern Europe Speaker

21-05-2024 12:05 21-05-2024 12:50 Europe/Madrid Adversaries are Getting Smarter in the Cloud Adversaries are turning over cloud infrastructure to compromise an organization. Our intel reports from the first line are disclosing how the amount of cloud-conscious threat actors multiplied by 8 in the last two years and how they leverage cloud-specific techniques to establish persistence and perform lateral movements. Organizations must prepare to detect and respond faster to potential incidents in the cloud. Cybersecurity Congress room

Cybercrime Trends 2024

Andrew Rose SoSafe Chief Security Officer Speaker

21-05-2024 14:20 21-05-2024 14:50 Europe/Madrid Cybercrime Trends 2024 AI changed everything last year. Now, in 2024, the real battle begins: Who will harness the power of new technologies and the psychology of human behavior more effectively – us or the cybercriminals? In our talk, we'll break down the top cybercrime trends to watch in 2024 so you can stay ahead of the curve with your security team and protect your organization from attacks. We'll explore the ever-increasing involvement of AI in cyberattacks, which is changing the game for everyone involved. We'll look at the double-edged sword of emerging technologies like 5G and quantum computing. We'll also talk about the rise of hacktivism and the role of cyberattacks in global political tensions, the evolution of phishing attacks into more complex, multi-channel threats, the increasing use of disinformation campaigns to sway public opinion, and the worrying burnout rates among security teams. Along the way, we’ll share security best practices to help you improve your security approach in a year that will also change the history of cyber security. Cybersecurity Congress room

Detecting Zero-Days Before Zero-Day

Daniele Molteni Cloudflare Product Manager Speaker

21-05-2024 14:50 21-05-2024 15:20 Europe/Madrid Detecting Zero-Days Before Zero-Day Classifying novel HTTP based exploits before they are disclosed is the ultimate challenge of any security defense software such as WAFs. This session will share new approaches that leverage network visibility and existing signature-based WAF to generate a high quality true positive training set. Augmented with additional automatically generated samples, users have built a classifier that has successfully "caught" payloads from new CVEs, even before POCs were available. This is a substantial improvement on existing signatures based systems, which often miss new attack vectors and require more frequent fast human intervention to update. Cybersecurity Congress room

21-05-2024 16:30 21-05-2024 17:00 Europe/Madrid Employee Training and Awareness Cyberattacks and data breaches are increasing daily and this is an alert for more awareness and more education in cyber security. Therefore, worldwide, professionals tend to assume, as a common goal, cybersecurity as a matter for the top management. But why training the employees becomes so important and how do we raise awareness on this matter? By educating employees and implementing comprehensive cybersecurity awareness training programs that cover this aspect, organizations empower their employees to be proactive in identifying and mitigating cyber threats effectively.
