Modern state of insecurity 
Online security is in a constant
state of flux; we face threats today that are entirely new to those we dealt
with only a year or two ago. Yet at the same time, we’re still dealing with the
same fundamental threats we were decades ago with the likes of SQL injection
and ransomware dating as far back as the 80’s. This dichotomy also plays out in
the sophistication of attacks we’re seeing today with news headlines announcing
nation state backed espionage with equal regularity to Amazon S3 buckets
exposing everything to the public due to simple configuration errors.
In this talk, you’ll see how these
threats are evolving and which are the ones we need to be especially conscious
of in the modern era. It looks at real world examples of both current and
emerging threats and talks about actionable steps we need to take as an
industry to stem the flow of data breaches and other malicious activity. The
Modern State of Insecurity is a scary yet necessary lesson on how we’re still
getting security wrong today.
