The team at CyberIreland invited me to join them for a joint event with Ireland Israel Business. in addition to keynotes, a panel discussion, and hallway discussions, I was also able to capture a quick update from some of the organizers and speakers.

Who would have ever guessed? Nowadays, after so many years of rampant personal data sharing on websites and social media, people are starting to worry about their privacy again.

Unfortunately, there is one problem: once the toothpaste is out of the tube, you cannot simply put it back in, especially in highly-technical and hyperconnected environments such as the ones we experience in modern business, government, and society.

Join us for a conversation with Beverly Allen as we dig deeper into these issues. We discuss what we might do to stop companies from data harvesting and people from giving away their rights to the privacy of their personal information.

Guests: Katie Nickels | Fred Wilmot | Ryan Kovar
Host: Sean Martin

It took me a while to get the conversation with Katie Nickels and Fred Wilmot sorted so we could talk about all things MITRE ATT&CK. Fortunately, we found some time together in person in Las Vegas during Hacker Summer Camp. As a bonus, I also got the chance to meet Ryan Kovar who happened to be presenting on ATT&CK with Katie that smae week. Ryan joined us for the conversation as well.

Have a listen as we explore what MITRE ATT&CK is, what it’s for, who it’s for, how to get started with it, how to be successful with it, and what scenarios could be leveraged to learn from others’ successes and challenges.

I happen to know some of the more skilled social engineers in the cybersecurity industry, and during Hacker Summer Camp 2019, Sean Martin and I were invited to meet one of the best.

You probably know her. She goes by the handle @sn0ww. This is her story.

Do you want to hear it? Of course, you do. No, really, you do. You don’t want to be the only one not listening to it, do you?

No doubt, we are living interesting times—full of incredible technological advancements and achievements. Yet, we still get to see the other side of the picture—cybercrime at its worst.

The dark web is peaking on a global scale. Last year, there were over 4 million users on TOR, and, with that, we are seeing some other “interesting” trends. It’s these trends which lead us to our second conversation with Charity—this time during Black Hat 2019.

Black and blue, and who knows which is which, and who is who?

It is a matter of perspective and a matter of time — and given the right knowledge, these usually change together. Don't they? What is at stake and what we are fighting for can change yesterday's foe into tomorrow's best ally. But what about today?

I believe that today in technology and infosec, we are at the crossroad where Sean and I have been waiting for a few years now. Exactly 4 years ago, when we founded ITSPmagazine, we did it because we wanted to have the conversation that media, politicians, business owners, technology experts, and politicians were not having yet - and, most still don't.

Location, location, location and amazing content is enough of a reason to describe why AppSec California and ISSA-LA are rapidly becoming THE security conferences in SoCal and the places to be. But if that’s not enough to make sure it’s on your to-do list for 2020 — in this special guest post, Francesco breaks down the ISSA-LA conference into specific sessions to tell you more.

#HackerSummerCamp is almost upon us. A plethora of security conferences — Black Hat, BSides, DEF CON, Queercon, Wicked6 Games, The Diana Initiative, and so much more — are all happening in Las Vegas on the same week (Aug 3 - 11).

With the infosec community about to overtake the city in a few days, how are hackers and civilian attendees protecting their data, devices and privacy during the conference? This guide provides you with a few tips.

As part of ITSPmagazine's Hacker Summer Camp 2019 coverage, the team at ITSPmagazine will be hitting the road again as Marco and Sean make their way to Las Vegas to connect with a number of the Black Hat and DEF CON conference keynote speakers, presenters, panelists, and more. We'll use this chronicle to capture the conversations we have so you can find them all in one place. Stay tuned here for more updates as we stop at various places along our journey to Hacker Summer Camp.

In 1993 according to Timeline of Computer History, we have a few major events:

You know what else happened in 1993? A person that goes by the handle @thedarktangent created the first DEF CON hacker convention. This is his story about the past, present, and future of hacker cons.

Why do we go to conferences?

To meet fantastic people, create great content, and tell entertaining stories. Sometimes it all happens at the same time.

This was one of those occasions.

We hope you enjoy listening to this chat as much as we enjoyed having it.

It was a bright, cold day in June, and the clocks were striking thirty past nine in the morning. On this last day on the Olympia show floor in London, after a few unsuccessful attempts, Sean and I were finally able to say hi, sit down, and have a good ole chat with Troy Hunt while we sipped on a cup of hot coffee. Yes, a podcast with Mr. Troy Hunt!
