Synopsis
Threat actors are getting more and more sophisticated in the way they approach the attacks. This means that conventional cyber protections are no longer sufficient. Its good as a baseline but will not be able to address more advanced APTs, which is why we are seeing various organisations with mature cybersecurity programs still getting frequently compromised.
In this talk, we will dive into areas where conventional cyber protections are lacking, and some of the most innovative ways to protect them.
