Digitization, the advent of artificial intelligence and the geopolitical situation are increasing the number of cyber attacks. A trendy proactive approach to cyber security is Offensive Security (OffSec).
The tactics, techniques, and procedures used by offensive security experts are the same as those used by attackers. Key OffSec concepts include penetration testing, red teaming, vulnerability assessment, social engineering and exploit development. However, responsible and ethical behavior comes first in offensive security.
Ethical hackers simulate attacks on systems to reveal vulnerabilities that could be exploited by real attackers. They identify weak points that could lead to their theft or leakage of sensitive data.
If a security incident has already occurred, ethical hackers can help resolve and minimize the damage. The incident handler is the first in line when a cyber attack occurs, be it phishing, ransomware or DDoS attacks. Speed of response is critical as it minimizes damage to infrastructure, data and reputation.
The first specialized one offensive safety conference OffSec 2024 it is intended for cyber security managers, students, members of security teams. It will be held on Wednesday, November 20 in the morning at HubHub in Bratislava’s Twin City C on Niva.
The presentations will feature top professionals and everyone is ready for discussion and questions
- Tomáš Zaťko ethical hacker Citadelo: Hacker – bachelor of events and experience. How the professional life of an offensive safety is evolving, how geopolitics is changing it, and why we still know how to hack you.
- Marian Trizuliak cybersecurity architect Západoslovak distribučná: Test by attack during real operation (case study)
- Michal Kuklovsky incident handler SK-CERT: Visibility into attacker activities.
- Michal Korchaník riaditeľ Digital Forencics and Incident Response Binary Confidence: About flying horses and exploit markets
The advent of artificial intelligence and technological development are rapidly increasing the demands on cyber defense. AI can quickly scan large systems and identify vulnerabilities that can be exploited. With the help of AI, attackers create personalized phishing messages, increasing the likelihood of attack success.
Banks and the energy industry, for example, already have a legal obligation to regularly test systems for security risks. According to the amendment to the Act on Cyber Security, from January 2025 offensive security practices and procedures will also be an obligation for other entities.
The number of participants in the OffSec conference is limited to 50, and ten places are currently available. Registration
