As cyber threats become increasingly advanced and persistent, traditional perimeter-based defenses are no longer sufficient to protect critical infrastructure.
Today’s cyber threats move fast—and the only way to stay ahead is to think like an attacker. A reactive approach is no longer enough. Organizations need to adopt a proactive, offensive security posture to uncover vulnerabilities before adversaries do.
What are the critical skills that extremely successful infosec professionals need, and how can we develop these? Obviously, technology matters, but it's not just about technology.
Discover how to install and run attacker tools to hunt vulnerabilities in your environment before the pentesters (or attackers!) do.
This talk is the AI talk you won’t hear anywhere else. Instead of hearing about all the greatness that AI brings, I will be talking about the side of AI you don’t know about.
