Threat actors are continuously refining their techniques, adapting their attacks to avoid detection and to maximize the chances of the attack being successful. Understanding the dynamic threat environment and the changes in threat actor techniques allows organizations to better prepare their defences to face such threats.

In this presentation, Mr. Chetan Raghuprasad  will talk about the cyber criminals sharing information about who they are, how they function, their motives and how the Government agencies and Law enforcement has emerged with the sanctions on the Cyber Criminals. Seeing the significant trends of attacks in the threat landscape, he will go through what Cyber-hygiene is and how vital it is for an individual as well as the organizations.

“Today, missiles are not merely in the form of real-world hypersonic weapons tested by some nation states; in ubiquitous cyberspace “missiles” come in another form, delivered much faster than hypersonic and leaving little or no trace of the humans behind the attack, and potentially bringing a victim nation to its knees. Introducing Cyber Warfare! Cyber Warfare is typically a nation-state-sponsored tactical use of sophisticated cyber techniques to impact victim machines across physical international borders, which, if not protected, can cause enormous damage to the targets.  Victims of such Cyber Warfare could be the targeted nation’s Government agencies, private/public organisations and civilians. However, any given system need not be a sitting duck in the face of such attacks. It can become part of a cyber army to protect itself to mitigate the impact of Cyber warfare. This talk focuses on Cyber Warfare, its different types and some mitigation strategies for systems that can be made part of the cyber army to protect themselves.”
