<p>"Today's attacks succeed because the defense is reactive.”</p><p>As the defenses have caught up and closed open doors, we attackers have looked for new avenues and vectors. Looking back on the state of defenses from One-Way Web Hacking in 2001 to Stegosploit in 2016, a common pattern emerges. Defense boils down to reacting to new attacks and then playing catch-up.</p><p>It is time to transition defense from being reactive to proactive. This talk discusses seven axioms for implementing proactive defense strategy and measures for the future, concluding with a blueprint of the next evolution of pro-active defense architecture.</p>
