Understanding the cyber-security landscape, its current state and trajectory, the challenges in the field, as well as the direction of cutting-edge research and innovation, is a difficult endeavor that is critical for the future of technology and humanity at large. An essential element of gaining this visibility and understanding is found in the community: experts get together, share knowledge, opinions, and points of view, and collectively define the landscape as a living organism. The power of community is central to a healthy, vibrant, and effective ecosystem.
As the custodians of one of the largest gatherings of cyber-security experts, we share the responsibility of fostering and supporting community, providing opportunities for fertile engagement, and enabling the continuity and vibrancy of engagement in a 24/7/365 world. As a result, we have unique insights into the landscape and its direction that we share back with the community, while also trying to invent new ways to enable additional opportunities for engagement.
In this talk, we will discuss some of the recent trends and insights we have observed in the cyber-security space, provide a view on the evolution of different areas of interest, and propose new ways to strengthen community.
