Ocean’s 1011: Think Like a Cyber Criminal to Protect Your Business in the Age of Digital Heists

How can organizations protect themselves against disruptive cyber-attacks when cyber criminals are only becoming smarter? The only way to beat a criminal at their game is
to start thinking like them. Learn ways to analyze your organization from a cyber criminal’s perspective and how to proactively defend your business from them.
By the end of this session, attendees will leave with a clear, actionable plan on how to think like a criminal and build a security program to protect and defend your business.

Cybercriminals are constantly evolving, and the old ways of defending just aren’t enough anymore. This session will help attendees shift from defense to offense, using the attacker’s own strategies against them. Attendees will leave with tangible steps they can apply immediately to make their business too difficult, too costly, and too well-protected for cyber criminals to breach.
