Abstract The state of cyber security is changing.
Security Professionals who are responsible for cybersecurity in an organization must grasp new cybersecurity threats and assess how they affect overall security posture and business in general.
Enterprises are under an endless stream of cyberattacks. The sophistication of attacks are evolving, and the number of attacks are not expected to decrease. The latest technology not only brings new opportunities but also increases the potential scope of attacks.
Breaches are expected to get worse.
The weaponization of exploits are happening within weeks after a major disclosure.  Even if no exploit code is presented, the adversaries are only delayed for a sort time.
This talk will go over the breaches within the last year, the current trend, what we can expect to see in the near future; along with some recommendations.
