Betting Against the House: Security and Stability When the Odds are Against You

Presented at Black Hat Asia 2017, March 31, 2017, 3:30 p.m. (30 minutes)

<span>Designing, deploying, and securing an enterprise network is a stressful job when you have time, budget, and resources. But what about when all of those things are limited? This session will cover the lessons learned in over more than a decade of running the Black Hat network. We'll talk about what makes the network tick, how it has evolved over the years, and where we think we're headed in the future. This isn't a brag session, we're going to talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly. We don't always get things right, and we'll share where we've been wrong, and how sometimes, that's where you learn the most.</span>
