[#IICSG2018 Conference Full Schedule]

Abstract

Typical cybersecurity controls — like malware prevention and detection — are falling short. Attackers still manage to compromise organisations that have invested millions of dollars in cybersecurity. What are the factors allowing these attackers to be so successful?  This talk will focus on lessons learnt from years of observations and will demonstrate how understanding the hacker's mindset and approach can help us build resilient security software, better manage our networks and bring up effective teams.
