No Time to Breach: The CISO’s Role in I(O)T Security

DrBA MSc Jeroen Van Der Vlies checksec.nl Trainer, Writer, A.I. CISO/CISPO & Auditor Speaker

#CISO, #Cybersecurity

13-05-2025 11:35 13-05-2025 12:50 Europe/Madrid No Time to Breach: The CISO’s Role in I(O)T Security As cybersecurity grows critical for I(O)T environments, CISOs play a key role in ensuring I(O)T security aligns with business strategy. Security is no longer just technical—it’s a strategic imperative, with compliance requiring leadership attention. Rising Threats – I(O)T systems face ransomware & nation-state attacks, risking business continuity. Business Impact – Breaches cause financial & operational damage. Boards must prioritize proactive measures with GDPR, NIS2, & CER in mind. Strategic Imperative – I(O)T security ensures resilience & operational continuity, requiring integration into risk management. Collaboration & Culture – Leadership must foster a security-aware culture & embed security into performance metrics. Actionable Steps – Boards should implement risk assessments, zero-trust models, & continuous training. Hacking Village 1

Livin’ on the Edge

Jose de la Cruz Trend Micro Iberia Technical Director Speaker

#Cybercrime, #Cybersecurity

13-05-2025 12:40 13-05-2025 14:00 Europe/Madrid Livin’ on the Edge The Threat Landscape is more complex than ever: cybercriminals have built a profitable business model around hacking, data theft, and extortion. They perform targeted and sophisticated attacks that are hard to detect and cause economic, reputational, and operational damage to organizations. On top of that, new regulations (e.g., DORA, NIS2) require companies to meet strict security controls. Failing to comply may lead to severe penalties. Trend Vision One helps companies define a global strategy to protect all attack vectors, comply with regulations, and respond to incidents. A single pane of glass and a scalable approach meet any organization’s needs, regardless of size. This year, Trend Micro brings to the Hacking Village the opportunity to explore our platform. We’ll deliver a short presentation, then participants will compete in our Capture the Flag challenge: a journey through Trend Vision One, responding to realistic cybersecurity scenarios.

13-05-2025 13:00 13-05-2025 13:30 Europe/Madrid Cyberwatch: Uncover, Prioritize, and Defend Against Critical Vulnerabilities In today’s digital landscape, companies must combat the relentless influx of CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). With 40,000+ new CVEs annually, staying ahead is harder than ever. Beyond volume, cybersecurity teams face complex IT environments—from networks, web servers, and cloud infrastructures to Docker, Kubernetes, and OT. Add multiple global sites, remote workforces, and hybrid infrastructures, and traditional approaches fall short. Join our workshop to see how Cyberwatch transforms cybersecurity by: Prioritizing Vulnerabilities: Our ""Prioritization 3D"" methodology targets critical threats first. Seamless Integration: Connect Cyberwatch with ticketing, patch management, CI/CD, MDM, and more. Unified Oversight: Get a centralized view of your infrastructure, no matter how diverse. Don’t let vulnerabilities overwhelm you—let Cyberwatch keep you proactive, efficient, and secure. Hacking Village 1

13-05-2025 14:30 13-05-2025 15:45 Europe/Madrid Mortal vs Machine: How AI is Transforming Cybersecurity Investigations In the current context where cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated and frequent, an agile and effective response is required to mitigate risks. Incident investigation is a crucial task that can be significantly improved by using endpoint detection and response (EDR) and artificial intelligence solutions. We will explore how SentinelOne's EDR solution, equipped with PurpleAI, enables rapid identification, analysis, and response to security incidents. We will present the key features of the solution, including the automation of data collection, analysis of suspicious behaviors, and correlation of events in real time. We will demonstrate how AI can reduce research time and increase accuracy in threat detection, allowing security teams to focus on strategy and informed decision-making. With case studies and a lab session, we will illustrate the positive impact that these technologies can have on organizational resilience against cyber attacks. Join us to discover how the combination of EDR and AI is revolutionizing cybersecurity Hacking Village 1

Securing Digital Identities: The Power of Hybrid Authentication

Alfonso Egio i2Cat Technical Project Lead Speaker

Ignasi Oliva i2Cat Blockchain Line Manager Speaker

#Cybersecurity, #Protection, #Risk

13-05-2025 15:55 13-05-2025 17:10 Europe/Madrid Securing Digital Identities: The Power of Hybrid Authentication Current authentication systems rely on password management and third-party identity providers, some offering 2FA and biometric authentication. However, vulnerabilities persist, including single points of failure, data breaches, and replay attacks. Public-key cryptography systems are gaining popularity with decentralized ledgers and blockchains for digital identities and assets. They address centralization risks and third-party reliance but require users to manage private keys responsibly. Advancements like Ethereum’s ERC-4337 (Account Abstraction) now enable seamless integration of mainstream and decentralized authentication. These innovations support identity recovery and compatibility with protocols like OpenID Connect. i2CAT will showcase a hybrid authentication system combining traditional email/password authentication with account abstraction, public-key cryptography, and smart wallets, offering enhanced security and flexibility.

Image geolocation: from beginner to intermediate

Mathieu Gaucheler Maltego Senior Subject Matter Expert Speaker

#Artificial Intelligence, #Cybersecurity, #Standards and Regulations

13-05-2025 16:35 13-05-2025 17:50 Europe/Madrid Image geolocation: from beginner to intermediate The ability to know where a picture has been snapped is a classic part of OSINT investigations. With the raise of social media and the popularization of smartphones, it is becoming difficult for something noteworthy to happen without an image being produced and circulated. However, these images can also be wrongfully used or even generated by AI to spread disinformation. Geolocating a picture or a video is an important tool to debunk false claims or authenticate a certain version of an event. But the multitude of investigative possibilities a picture offers can feel daunting for a beginner: should we look for metadata? Pay attention to the mountain in the background? Focus on the length of the shadows and position of the sun? In this workshop, we will present different geolocation techniques: talk about their limits, their requirements and inform the attendees about how difficult they are to use. We will illustrate these methods with specific case studies Hacking Village 2
