Breakout Session
Andy and Kirk look back at the last decade of security misfortune, looking at the hacks that shocked us and asking: What have we learnt? Since 2009, Andy and Kirk have enjoyed recreating security incidents for audiences at tech conferences: from scenes in Mr Robot
and blockbuster movies, to demonstrating how ransomware works. In this talk we'll switch our focus to the Real World(tm), discuss how sophisticated attackers are (or aren't!) and help us understand how to defend against these attacks.
