Cyber Crash Investigations: Seizing the Opportunity to Learn from Past Crises

Presented at BSidesLV 2023, Aug. 9, 2023, 10:30 a.m. (Unknown duration)

In this talk, Julia and David discuss their work in cyber crash investigations, delving into what they've learned about opportunities to avoid incidents, minimize their impact, and respond to them effectively, underlined by real-life case studies. The objective of the talk is not to provide a comprehensive checklist for imperviousness to attacks, but to prompt attendees to enquire about their organization's readiness in less-obvious areas. Just as aviation experts learn from accidents to improve safety, Julia and David hope to provide recent and constructive insights from responding to significant cyber crises.
