This is the 10 year anniversary of BSides LV. A lot has changed and even improved over the past decade, but some persistent challenges remain. We’ve seen high-profile attacks, the rise of nation-state attacks, and many other changes in the threat landscape. More recently we’ve seen some attackers favoring disinformation and hybrid attacks. We’ve also seen some products inching towards a “secure by design” model. Bob has had a front row seat to some of these events and transformations. He’ll share some of his observations and a few key reasons to be optimistic about the future, and ways you can help.
