Keynote: Security War Stories

Location:

Day of the Week:

Over the past decade, the pace and impact of major data breaches and other information security incidents has dramatically increased.

As society becomes increasingly interconnected through, and reliant upon, information technology, important questions are being raised about the long-term security of essential systems and applications that power the modern world.

This talk presents stories relating to security incidents from the past and present to demonstrate how both technology and cultural mindsets relating to security have evolved.

It concludes by offering a glimpse into the future of security and how technological innovations create new opportunities for attackers and new responsibilities for defenders and society as a whole.
