As an infosec professional, you may be a pro at finding security threats and APTs in your corporate environment, but have you evaluated your personal threat model? What would you do if someone close to you was using technology in a way that was a risk to your personal privacy and safety? Would you do something different if that person was front page news and internationally known as a hacker? As the discussion around stalkerware grows, hear presenters’ personal experiences navigating spyware and stalking dating back two decades. Attendees will learn that stalkerware is not a new problem, how to use enterprise network defense and incident response frameworks to respond to personal threats, and what resources can help individuals experiencing tracking, digital harassment, or digital abuse at the hands of a technical adversary. This talk is suitable for software developers and managers to learn about unintended personal safety risks in software, individuals experiencing this threat, and anyone interested in the extent of this problem.
