The Future Of Cyber Security – From a friendly Hackers perspective
In 2022, Cyber Security is no longer about protecting secrets. It is about our way of life that relies on digital technology, everywhere: from clouds to smartphones, from medical facilities to stock markets and everything in between – and it matters to all of us. In the past 2 years, threat actors have innovated faster than ever before, even using “growth hacking” tricks to increase the impact of their criminal enterprises. At the same time, our own connected lifestyle and digital footprint keeps changing at breakneck speeds.
How can we prepare for what comes next? By learning from hackers! Keren Elazari, Security researcher, TED Speaker and Friendly hacker, joins us for a conversation on emerging security threats, new attack techniques and innovation lessons we can learn from hackers.
