SESSIONS

Once upon a time in Hollywood
by Andrew De Lange, Intelligence Solutions Architect, Anomali

Bad actors are not just on the silver screen. The term threat/bad actor is a synonym in the Intelligence world in reference to the hackers or criminals we are under attack from on a daily basis. Attribution is not always easy but when we are able to identify the players by the fingerprints they leave behind, we can make better decisions on how to defend against them. In this talk we will discuss some of the most active and prolific bad actors targeting the Middle East in 2020.

The Role of Physical Security in Strategic Threat Intelligence
by Shah Rahman, Client Director – MEA & APAC, Silobreaker

For many organisations, cyber security is a reactive process based on responding to issues as they materialise. In this talk, Shah Rahman will highlight the evolving threat landscape which extends beyond the direct cyber threats to organisations impacting the Middle East and discuss how you can use OSINT to build a more strategic threat intelligence practice.

Hunting the big game hunters – The evolution of eCrime and the threat to the Middle East
by Scott Jarkoff, Strategic Threat Advisory Group, APJ & EMEA, CrowdStrike

This session will outline the most recent adversary activity the CrowdStrike Threat Intelligence and Threat Hunting teams have witnessed this year, with a specific focus on the Middle East region. Braden will examine the threat posed by eCrime and its move away from traditional methods of monetisation, as well as look at how best to defend yourself against such an evolving threat landscape.
