What You’ll Learn in This Webinar
Cyber security is a very unique field where money doesn’t make the difference. How would you feel if a chevy pickup would beat you on a racetrack while driving a Ferrari? Well this is what happens every day in the cyber trenches. States get hacked by small groups of hackers and banks spending hundreds of millions of dollars in security lose millions of user records. How is this even possible?
A new approach is needed. In the past 15 years, we all witnessed the rise of the social era leveraging the crowd power, embodied by the climax of social media platforms, Waze, Airbnb, and many other very successful tech giants. Communications, booking vacations, funding ventures, driving, day-to-day business tasks were taken to a whole new level thanks to a crowd approach. If people were willing to take advantage of this new togetherness to bring ideas and projects to unprecedented heights, why wouldn’t they be keen to unite to defend their privacies, companies, and personal data against cyberattacks? Together, sysadmins, Devops & Secops outnumber hackers 1:1000. Collaborative, open and transparent security is the way to rebalance the odds.
Join CrowdSec’s founding CEO Philippe Humeau, as well as Mikko Hypponen who needs no introduction for this talk. They will explore why a collaborative approach to security could contribute to solving the hacking problem and explain how we could make the Internet safer, together. Key takeaways:
- Crowdsourcing the effort is a game changer
- How to partake in this global effort, while beefing up your own security
- How to build trust in the Internet's fragile architecture?
