Focus Topic: Taming the Hacker Storm: A Way to Defeat Cybercriminals and Malware

Speaker: Roger Grimes, Data Driven Defense Evangelist at KnowBe4

Synopsis: Malicious hackers and their malware creations are rampant on the Internet. Ransomware is taking down companies, hospitals, and even entire cities at will. Hundreds of millions of dollars are stolen, and millions of people's accounts are stolen every day. A large portion of the Internet is just hacker traffic, phishing, and their malware programs. However, most people are unaware that we can significantly reduce Internet crime, making it nearly impossible for hackers and their malware creations to be successful. There is a way to make a far safer Internet for you, your children, your grandchildren, and your grandparents. We have most of the needed technology, we just need to make it more pervasive.

Attend this session to learn about:
• The ONE BIG UNDERLYING COMPUTER SECURITY PROBLEM that underlies all other problems
• How fixing that one problem will make the Internet a far safer place for the world to compute
• Hear about the cool new Internet DNS-like service that will make it far harder for hackers to hide
• Come learn what it would take and how you can help to one day make hackers and their malware creations something future generations learn about in history books
