Presented at
DEF CON 30 (2022),
Aug. 13, 2022, 1:50 p.m.
(110 minutes).
It's been a long 12 years since the last time an Internet Wars panel was held at DEF CON, in that time a lot has changed, and a lot has not. This panel will bring together representatives from multiple industries and with a breadth of experiences discuss current trends and topics in internet security and the way those are playing out in both the cyber and the physical realm.
This discussion will start with an introductory presentation on some of the latest trends in digital security, threat intel, disinformation, and APTs. Further we will be discussing how cyber threats are being weaponized in the Russian attacks on Ukraine. From there we'll move into questions and answers from the audience. Panelists will accept questions on any subject related to the threat landscape, IoT and ICS threats, internet warfare and will discuss what we expect is coming and how we, as an industry, can best deal with it.
