Presented at TechnoSecurity&DigitalForensics 2019 by

Christine Stevenson

This session will explore an abridged history of hackers, hooligans, and heists. It will also examine new ways of approaching cybersecurity to mitigate nefarious acts by focusing on actual security effectiveness instead of the latest APT, 0-day, and regulatory mandate. The presenter will translate the “who, how, and why” of cyberattacks. The presenter will also identify multiple “old school” and modern-day threat vectors and organize attacks by motives like sabotage and espionage. Each threat actor type will be explored in detail with real-life use cases and personal accountants. The examples used will illustrate the diversity in threats, methods, motivations, and organizational responses.
