Cyberspace is a different place from what it was 18 months ago. Yes, there was a pandemic, but we also found our first major public supply chain attacks, dealt with our first truly critical vulnerabilities in our software dependency stack, moved everyone to work from home, felt the full brunt of innovation in ransomware and got our first taste of a major cyber power going to war. The security industry has been permanently changed by these events, but for better or worse? We will dive into the major events from our most recent orbit of the sun, look at how we as a security industry responded, and in the style of a blameless postmortem, look at what has truly made a difference, and who is still asking folks to not click on "bad" links.

Darren Bilby
Darren is a pretty cool dude. He is Engineering Director for Google's Enterprise Infrastructure Protection team. He has recently returned to live in Auckland, but manages a global team of 200 engineers responsible for ensuring Alphabet's infrastructure is resilient against attack. Over the past 14 years at Google, Darren has served in many roles, including as tech lead for Google's Global Incident Response team, managing Google's European detection team in Zürich, and founding and developing the open source GRR Incident Response framework. Prior to Google, he worked for 8 years in banking and security consulting in New Zealand, and had the dubious honor of founding a number of the early infosec communities in New Zealand such as ISIG.
