  • How hackers spoof company email addresses to trick employees into giving access into your network;
  • Why encryption by itself isn't a foolproof way to protect data;
  • The ways in which collecting and analyzing your network data can be applied to thwart future attacks.

For more than 18 years, he has taken a practical approach to network security, delivering knowledge, tools and methodologies that demonstrate advanced threat concepts and holistic network defense strategies. He also works on threat collaboration projects between security operation center (SOC) teams across multiple verticals.
