Presentation Description: (with Nadeem Douba)

Goto Fail – Hacking the Enterprise: Today’s cyber-landscape is looking grimmer and grimmer. Organizations continue to get compromised – from financial institutions to social media to retail – but why? Is it because organizations don’t have the necessary tools to defend themselves or is it because we are not implementing the correct defences? In this talk we’ll demonstrate how easy it is to breach an enterprise perimeter with nothing more than some good old open source intelligence and automation. We’ll demonstrate how compromising the weakest link (human behaviour) can end up handing your organization’s crown jewels to the enemy. This talk will be highly demo-centric and are based on real life scenarios. Audience participation is highly encouraged!
