Speaker: Jarrod Overson

How much does it cost to attack you and what are attackers getting out of it?   Attacks, breaches, exploits, and malware are nearly a daily occurrence. Why aren’t billion-dollar products solving the problems we’ve had for decades? The problem is two-fold, attacks are getting cheaper to perform and the value of an attack is increasing daily. This is leading to increasingly sophisticated tools attacking platforms that have not kept up.  

In this session, Jarrod will describe the cost vs value justification of an attack, how it shifts over time, and why it means that silver bullets just don’t exist. We’ll walk through the evolution of one of the cheapest modern attacks, credential stuffing, and see what attackers do after they have data and access.

Attackers are clever fraudsters, when you see how cheap it is to exploit you and how much value they wring out of your data it will help you prioritize better protection for yourself and in the software you write.
