Cyber Security in Times of Crisis  - July 2020

The COVID-19 crisis has changed the way we do business, and criminals have quickly adapted to the new reality.  Home has become the new office, and organizations that once feared the cloud have now rushed on, in order to maintain business as usual in these un-precedented times. Keren Elazari, TED speaker, security analyst and friendly hacker talks about cyber security in times of crisis: trends, predictions and strategies to build resilience, and what future-forward organizations are doing right now to stay ahead of current chal-lenges.  This talk will be a fast journey into the cyber security world as it meets us in our daily, personal lives – at home, at work, and with our families. From Zoom Bombing to Ac-count takeovers, through Ransomware and Phishing, We’ll shed light on emerging security threats, attacker’s  techniques, what we can learn from hackers and practical ideas on how to build a safe future for any type of organization.

Tap Into The Hacker Mindset – Innovation lessons we can learn from hackers!

In the information age, data is the new currency and access to it is power.  With battle cries such as “Information wants to be free”, “Hack the planet” and “we are legion” – in recent years, Hackers have risen to infamy. But can we learn anything about innovation from them?   The surprising fact is that hacking can, and often does, improve products. It exposes vulnerabilities, supplies innovations, and demonstrates what is possible and how consumers actually want to use technology.   In this talk we will see how companies that once fought hackers, can now invite them to innovate – and why more and more compa-nies are learning to embrace the creative aspects of hacker culture.

The Future of Cyber Security from A friendly Hacker’s Perspective

Cybersecurity is no longer about protecting secrets.  It's about our way of life that relies on digital technology, everywhere -- from clouds to smartphones, from sensors to webcams, to stock markets and so much more.  Complicating matters more, today’s cyber criminals are innovating just as fast as the digitally innovative organizations they attack.  In this envi-ronment, are you and your organization thinking about what's next?  This talk we’ll inspire executives and techies to act on what matters most.  We’ll shed light on emerging security threats, new attack vectors and techniques; discover what we can learn from friendly hackers and how to work with them – and talk about practical ideas on how executives can make a difference in their organizations.  We’ll discuss the future workforce and business challenges in this space and how to foster more diversity in cybersecurity.  Finally, we’ll look at the future of cybersecurity and learn why resilience will be defined not just by our efforts to balance technology’s benefits against the risks it brings with it, but by how we evolve our paradigms about security, privacy and digital access.
