35 Views of Cyber Risk

Cyber risk sits at the intersection point of three different disciplines - computing, security and insurance. Each of these subjects is distinct but to properly understand cyber risk you need to master all three. This presentation looks at cyber risk from all angles, reframing familiar concepts in novel ways using theory from these and many other diverse disciplines such as economics and biology.

Threat Intelligence

Threat Intelligence is the process of acquiring knowledge about threats to an environment.  It is NOT just a list of indicators that an attacker used without additional context into how the attack worked.  It is both internal AND external knowledge.  We will open this panel with an exploration of these concepts, as well the importance of proper attribution.   To launch the rest of the day's program we will conclude this panel with a cradle to grave walk-though of a ransomware attack.
