Learning From Pirates of the Late 1600s - The First APT - Adam Hogan

Übersicht

Join us on a fascinating journey back to the late 1600s, where lawless seas were ruled by pirates. Led by Adam Hogan, this exploration draws surprising parallels between the marauders of the high seas and today's advanced persistent threats (APTs) in cybersecurity.

While seemingly separated by centuries, both share striking similarities in tactics and threat levels.

Discover how the historical methods used to fight piracy can provide valuable lessons for addressing modern digital threats. Uncover strategic insights that shaped historical defense mechanisms and learn how they can be adapted to protect our digital world.

This talk is part of a series available on YouTube, providing valuable content to those interested in artificial intelligence courses and conference talks.
