Exploit Kits: The Biggest Threat You Know Nothing About

Presented at Hackfest 2016, Unknown date/time (Unknown duration)

Exploit kits are an ever-present threat that can compromise innocent Internet users indiscriminately. As malware payloads such as ransomware are becoming more successful, so is the sophistication of these exploit kits. Such sophistication and stealth creates an enormous challenge to defend and combat. The beginning of our defense against Exploit kits is with understanding what EKs are and how we can secure our applications against them.
