BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL: THE FUTURE OF CYBERCRIME
With ethical hacker, securities expert and author, Allan Liska
The bank robber traded his gun in for a laptop and went from stealing thousands at a time to stealing millions. World powers conduct espionage and warfare from windowless buildings, and every human with a smart phone is at risk of being robbed, conned and manipulated for cash, politics and power. From the ethical hacker to nation state actors to high-tech thieves, the internet is alive and well with opportunists, idealists and bureaucrats using ransomware and cryptocurrencies to rob, destabilize and control the networks of power, politics and wealth.
Over the last few years the gap between nation state actors and cybercriminals has narrowed. Cybercrime is sophisticated, accessible and increasing around the globe. Nation states, once the leaders in cyber activity, increasingly rely on contractors and criminals to accomplish their missions. Ethical hacker and security expert, Allan Liska, will explain how the confluence of better security reporting, ransomware, and cryptocurrencies have combined to make more effective and sophisticated hackers and how cybercriminals and nation state actors are starting to feed off each other. He will discuss where this is leading and what the world of the cybercriminal will look like in the years to come.
