The history of security can be traced back to a variety of different sources. The amount of articles on the topic is dizzying. Most will cite names of early phone phreaks, Kevin Mitnick, Kevin Poulsen, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and quickly transition to many other more recent "hacks" or breaches. Our goal is to not review the history of hacking. This is the history of security. We've carefully chosen key events and research to discuss the very beginnings of security, and their impact and lessons for today's ever-evolving security landscape.

Emerging technologies such as Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality are inevitably gaining momentum and helping businesses gain competitive advantage. These technological advancements are giving rise to digital transformation as well as digital risks. The bigger question is who will protect these technologies.

The Valley companies are utilizing the same technologies to combat the associated risks. My Quest to protect these Brave New Virtual Worlds has taken me around the world and connected me to the geniuses at Wallarm. In this segment, I will talk about WHY I believe Wallarm, XRSI and companies alike are the ones moving fast to protect the Immersive Technologies.

This segment will aim to help defenders learn tactics and techniques that are effective and try to answer some of the following questions: - How do you prioritize your defensive efforts? - How do you best detect attacks? - How do you best protect against attacks? - We always say "patch your stuff" but how often should you patch? Which systems should you patch? - What techniques work best to defend against email phishing? - How do you provide a "good enough" level of security for your Active Directory? - What are the fundamentals of defense? How do they differ per environment and organization? - How do you get management to buy-in to your security plans and spending?
