Blockchain, IoT, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Cloud are all pretty different technologies... but from an attacker's perspective, are they really?  Are defenders even thinking about their own security approach correctly?

In this keynote, you'll hear from #1 bestselling author and leader of ethical hackers Ted Harrington, as he examines the mindset, strategies and tactics used by attackers  -- irrespective of the tech being attacked. You'll learn about the mistaken mindsets that many companies hold, which only make it easier for attackers to win. You'll hear stories from these different domains, and learn how to think differently about how your organization can defend.

Book this keynote to address the seemingly overwhelming collection of security concerns with which today’s leaders contend:

• Is security a critical need for your organization, and one which you want to make sure you're doing right?

• Are you struggling to understanding how hackers think, how they operate, how they break systems, and how to keep pace as they evolve?

• Do you need to know how to defend accordingly?

• Are you uncertain about whether your security investments are, in fact, actually making you any more secure?

• Do you have the appetite and capacity for change?

If any of this describes you, this is the keynote for you! An engaging blend of research-based issue analysis combined with storytelling, this keynote seeks to you with how to:
