BSidesDE/DC 2016

First, I want to thank everyone that works so hard to make the Bsides conferences so great. Oaktree and I had the luxury of training at BsidesDE and BsidesDC and hope that our students come away with at least a little more than they came in with. We hope you enjoy our Powershell class.

Detect < Prevent

As a long time security practitioner, it has become second nature for me to look for and find things that buck the norm – basically to find things that go against proper procedures. First before I begin my little story, I must share that everything I do to “buck the norm” is done professionally and […]

“Yes, all product lines are impacted.”

On Wednesday Anthem, formally Wellpoint, announced that they were the victims of a “very sophisticated external attack” affecting “all product lines”. The numbers aren’t clear yet but some estimates I have seen, on the Twitter buzz this has caused state the estimates could be as high as 80 million. Even half that is a huge […]

Interns – Security R&D
