From Deepfakes to Data Breaches: Navigating the Modern Threat Landscape

James Workman, Security Consultant, Bechtle

James will provide a market-focused overview of the current cybersecurity landscape, sharing observations from customer engagements across industries. This session will explore the key threats, challenges, and priorities organisations are facing, along with the evolving approaches being adopted to strengthen cyber resilience.

Jake Moore, Global Security Advisor, ESET

Artificial intelligence is transforming the way cybercriminals operate, making deception more convincing and accessible than ever before.

In this compelling and eye-opening session, Jake Moore reveals how he successfully used AI-powered face-swapping technology to pass live video job interviews under a completely false identity. Through real-world demonstrations and research, Jake exposes how modern AI tools are being weaponised to infiltrate organisations, bypass traditional security controls, and exploit human trust.

Attendees will also see how readily available tools can clone voices, generate convincing documents, and create entirely fabricated identities in seconds. As the line between real and fake continues to blur, Jake challenges organisations to consider a critical question: would you be able to tell the difference?

Harrison Craige, Security Consultant, ESET

Cyber attackers follow a playbook, carefully combining tactics, techniques and procedures to move through an organisation and achieve their objectives. In this interactive and engaging session, Harrison will use the MITRE ATT&CK framework to guide attendees through the different stages of a modern cyber attack, demonstrating how adversaries progress from initial access to business impact.

Along the way, we'll explore the tools and techniques commonly used by attackers, see how these actions unfold in real-world scenarios, and examine the defensive capabilities organisations can use to detect, disrupt and respond before an incident escalates. Through a gamified approach, attendees will be challenged to think like both the attacker and the defender, uncovering how security teams can gain the upper hand in an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape.
