Description
Abstract: This talk will provide information on cyber threats that we are seeing today, including threats from five skilled and persistent teams that targeted infrastructure in 2017, the CRASHOVERRIDE malware, and the TRISIS malware. It will then transition into where we are reasonably going in terms of actions seen from adversaries and the type of sophistication we can expect. Lastly, this presentation will pivot into what some reasonable recommendations for research and actions by the community are needed to counter the current and projected threats.
