Keynote: Hacking for the Greater Good

In this keynote we discuss the field of Ethical Hacking and the methods of leveraging penetration testing as a key component of a mature cyber security program.

Last presented at National Cyber Security Symposium, National Internet Governance Forum, Belize City, Belize.

Emerging trends in malware monetization models

Cybercriminals are increasingly pushing to shorten the monetization cycle for their offensive tradecraft. Financial incentives remain the largest driving force behind the 150M+ new malware samples released in the wild each year. The advent of ransomware ushered in the era of "instant monetization", effectively making traditional anti-malware solutions obsolete and incapable of offering a truly proactive capability.

It is now time to evolve beyond the legacy thinking that is now failing the enterprise and the consumer alike across the board. It is time to move past passive Defense and Response capabilities to the realm of Disruption. Disruption of criminal value chains, disruption of attack tradecraft en masse.

Originally presented at Security by Design DC.
