While we most likely do not believe that penetration testing is dead it continues to evolve over time. What do penetration tests look like today? Have they become more or less specialized? What is the continuing value of penetration testing? With development and IT moving so fast, how have penetration tests adapted? This discussion will dive into the details of penetration testing today and provide you with a guide to make the most of this activity.

Without question, we need more people working in cybersecurity today. Our culture has come a long way to be more open and inviting to new folks, but we still have a lot of work to do. What can you do if you want to break into the field of cybersecurity today? While there is no shortage of resources our experienced hosts will offer their thoughts, opinions, and advice on how you can become the next cybersecurity pro!

What if I told you, you can have your cake and eat it too. It is possible to scale your program and deliver higher quality threat models.

Is there still a network or has it slipped away from us entirely? What about efforts for localization because people do not trust the cloud, its providers or its reliability (ala Twitter vs. the Fediverse?). Do you still need actual hardware firewalls? What about VPNs? How long will these devices still be around as everyone goes to the cloud and SDWAN technologies? And what about identity? If you can nail identity, doesn't that set you up to be a cloud-first organization? Join us for a discussion with Sinan and the security weekly hosts as we tackle these questions!

Let’s be honest: people can frustrate us. They don’t always do the things we’d like, and they often do some things we’d rather they didn’t. New research from the National Cybersecurity Alliance reveals insights about the public’s attitudes and beliefs about security. We’ll explore the 2022 Oh Behave! Cybersecurity Attitudes and Behaviors Report and some of the findings may surprise you! We’ll also give you practical, actionable advice on how you can better communicate to influence the behavior change you want to see.

Estonia is a small country in the Baltics; however, it has been at the forefront of technology for many years. This session traces Estonia’s journey from independence in 1991 to its current use of digital identities for the systems that allow citizens to vote, check online banking, e-residency, and tax returns. I’ll share lessons learned and key takeaways from incidents that happened along the way, examine what the future holds, and discuss the impact of incorporating AI into a digital society.
