Hack the brain – Social Engineering Innovation in 2023

Bas van Erk, Director Benelux & Nordics, SoSafe

The human factor remains a gateway for cybercriminals as phishing and ransomware attacks continue to increase. Cases like those of Uber and Rockstar Games have also shown how cybercriminals are evolving at a rapid pace, exploiting human psychology and our emotions - and hacking our brains. But how do attackers use behavioral science specifically against us? What can we do to protect those around us?

Emotional Manipulation Tactics: Insight into how cybercriminals exploit emotions, emphasizing the need for psychological awareness in cybersecurity
Behavioral Science in Attacks: Understanding how attackers use behavioral science for effective phishing and ransomware, highlighting the importance of this knowledge in defense strategies
Strengthening Defenses: Practical strategies for enhancing resilience against social engineering, focusing on team education and recognition of sophisticated threats

The Future of Security Operations

Rasham Rastegarpour, ReliaQuest

Security operations are changing rapidly and require a more holistic approach to security. Streamlining threat detection, investigation, and response is a good start in managing risk, but also important are utilising threat intelligence and digital risk protection, reviewing suspect employee-submitted emails via the abuse mailbox, and measuring your program to communicate better with your stakeholders and service providers. Additionally, security operations will become more streamlined, with the automation of routine tasks and incident-response procedures becoming the norm. This session will help organisations achieve efficient and effective detection and response to security incidents.

Five benefits for delegates attending the session:

How a security operations platform helps proactively detect and mitigate cybersecurity risks and support future changes in your business
The benefits of complete visibility across cloud, on-premises, and endpoint environments to mitigate security risks and enable rapid remediation
How automation at key junctures can streamline security operations, speed resolution, and reduce the risk of human error
The need for a more collaborative approach between providers and enterprises that avoids a “black box” method and provides measurable improvements in security operations
How integration with existing security toolsets enables organisations to extract more value out of existing investments while streamlining security response

Defending with an Attacker's Mindset

Boudewijn van Lith, Senior Manager Technical Sales, Proofpoint

The organisation chart is the new zero-day — and today, it’s publicly available on social media.
•   It’s easier to find someone who will click a link than to find an exploit for an operating system. The attacker simply needs to know who has access to the data they want, then get creative.
•   Most security teams don’t have the same perspective that the threat actors do — they think of their attack surface in terms of VLAN and IP address, instead of the department or job title.
•   Effective defence comes when you can anticipate your attackers’ moves. By combining threat landscape insights with data on which of your users are targeted with which threats, organisations can build more effective security awareness training programs, and users can better defend themselves from the threats they are most likely to see.
