Our opening keynote speaker will share his thoughts about Operationalizing Threat Intelligence, informed by his 20+ years of experience across a variety of industries including government, telecommunications and more. To finish out the event, our closing keynote speaker, a deputy CISO for a fortune 25 healthcare company, will discuss how to use cyber deception for attribution to protect your network and more.

With the acquisition of Cyborg Security, Intel 471 wants to share how its unique insights into the underground and intelligence-led threat hunting can mitigate cyber risk. Malicious actors are constantly adapting to the progressing threat landscape to find new and improved ways to launch attacks. In return, organizations must stay up-to-date with real-time threat insights to mitigate these risks. This UnConference will provide you with strategic measures to better enhance your CTI and Threat Hunting knowledge and cybersecurity operations.
