CyberSecurity : so what?
@dave_vassallo
How it affects you personally and @work...
Hopefully by the end of this series you'll understand:
- why bother with security
- why the IT dept. make you do the things they do
- why it's probably already happened to you...
Word salad
When you hear "hacker"... what do you think of?
Reality Check
reality is a bit different
- Hackers are sometimes a force for good, they improve your life.
- Hackers love to tinker... they're like the 5 yr old who won't stop asking why...
- Hackers are patient, and persistent...
Tesla - The Greatest Hacker of all Time
Hardware hackers

A bit closer to home....
No rest for the wicked...
Motivation
Why do (bad) hackers do what they do?
It's all about the money
A LOT of money...
1 gold coin = $1
Still.....
It would never happen to me... why me?!
- hackers use your PC to mine bitcoin...
- as a platform to attack others without getting caught
- proxy for porno, a lot of porno (this happened a lot @ Vassallo Grp)
- who you work for, or who your employer works for...
- credit cards...
Has 6PM ever been hacked??
Yes :(
- OTRS under constant attack
- VoIP under constant attack
