Thursday, May 29, 2025 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Description
Following the success of my previous talk, Cybersecurity Lessons from Jurassic Park, we will once again dive into Michael Crichton's work to learn about modern and age-old cybersecurity challenges, this time with a focus on emerging threats like infostealers. While cybersecurity professionals often talk about how not to get hacked, we are often ill-prepared to deal with the conditions after a successful compromise. Drawing parallels with the groundbreaking novel and movie, we will discuss the various points of failure within a security system, highlighting recent incidents affecting critical infrastructure, with real-world tests that show the susceptibility of Windows Defender and other common EDR solutions to being bypassed.
