“As shown by headlines and countless intrusions, even moderately skilled attackers can sail through the defenses of a typical corporate network. Using a playbook of techniques both common and uncommon, intruders can bypass almost all security barriers despite even tough policies on end users and admins. But failure is not inevitable for a defender. There are many practical ways a network can be constructed that will wipe out most of the playbook, and they don’t require expensive purchases.

Security must be built from the start, and this presentation will show you how it’s done; how to intelligently look at threats and plan defenses for a Windows network.”
