Check out this video from the vault from an event we ran in September 2021.


Here is the original synopsis:


About this event

Your business’ rate of change is accelerating. How are you outpacing cyber threats?

You continue to invest in protecting your customers data, your intellectual property, educating your people around the risks of cyber attack and improving your business infrastructure.

Have you regularly invested in ‘point-in-time’ penetration testing. Is this still enough?

How do you know that you know these activities are proving to be effective?

In this month’s roundtable we’re going to be talking hacking. Our special guest Anders Reeves, Founder of CovertSwarm who are contracted by client’s to constantly and ethically hack their systems and exist to continually compromise their customers will join us, alongside one of their Hive Members - Elliott Thompson.

They will demonstrate how point-in-time testing is no longer enough and how Constant Cyber Attack is the only way to outpace your cyber threats. With examples from recent compromises of their customers they will tell you how:

There is such a thing as a free lunch. How to make free money from online retailer’s shopping carts. Comprise an administrative system as a self-registered customer. Almost detonate an industrial plant. If are concerned about the security of your data and want to know how a hacker would look to compromise you, then join us for this month’s roundtable.

Who should join us: - CTOs and leaders of tech companies who want to understand things from a hacker’s perspective. - Aspiring CTOs that have not had the time to focus on security. - Ethical hackers and security enthusiasts keen to share opinions and stories.
