    Session Title: Adopting the Attacker’s Mindset to Protect the Hybrid Workforce

    Session Synopsis:

    The hybrid way of working is an established reality and one which has opened up a host of opportunities for criminals. Attackers no longer need to execute direct attacks, using attack vectors targeted straight at systems or at individuals. They can now take advantage of the supply chain in order to spread out the attacks elsewhere. In this new reality, you have to think like the attacker to avoid being the next victim.

    What new tactics are criminals employing and how are they distributing attacks to take advantage of the hybrid model? What is being overlooked in our current defences? How are the attackers succeeding despite our defences?
