Duration: 1 hour

They are out there, watching and waiting for an opportunity to strike; the bad actors who have carefully researched your organization in order to set the perfect trap using easily found public resources. Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) can provide cybercriminals everything they need to know to perfectly target your users by gathering data on everything from password clues to tech stack details, banking/credit card accounts, social media details and more. Emerging technologies like AI can make gathering this intelligence even easier.

Real-world demonstrations of how to conduct (legal!) OSINT gathering techniques the hackers are using on you
How to deploy penetration testing exercises to map an attack surface
How to conduct cyber investigations of your own
