Inka talks about harnessing Behavioural Science (BS) to influence people’s cyber security behaviours. Focusing on psychology theories (e.g. Behaviour change wheel) she explores some of our barriers (and motivations) to cybersecurity. What are our FMEs ('frequently made excuses') to taking protective action online and how organisations' could create a supportive security culture.

Organizations today operate under the constant looming threat of cyber attacks. While reactive cybersecurity measures will help organizations respond to past and present threats, offensive measures are the only chance to get ahead of attackers and beat them to the punch. There is now a greater call for offensive solutions like penetration testing and red teaming to evaluate environments so security gaps can be identified and closed before a breach. Join us as we discuss how these solutions work both independently and together, as well as practical ways organizations can build or mature an offensive security strategy.

For our squirrel stories, we'll be deciding between three stories: codebreakers solve 500 year old ciphers, the real cost of meetings visualized, and sushi terrorists!

Tanium has recently released a new capability called Tanium Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) to help customers identify third-party libraries associated with software packages.
• What is Tanium SBOM
• Why is it different and why do you need it
• How to configure SBOM
• How to query for the details about every software application in your environment
• Where your vulnerable packages exist
• Ways that Tanium can remediate vulnerabilities from OpenSSL to Struts to Log4j today as well as new supply-chain vulnerabilities in the future
No one knows what the next supply chain vulnerability is going to be, but with Tanium, you will have access to data about how your applications are affected before it happens so that when it does, you're ready to take action to remediate the issue from within the Tanium XEM platform.

If you’ve ever worked on a red or purple team, you know scaling engagements to production is an intensive, unwieldy process. Technology pitfalls may exist, but the fundamental problem is this: the process of writing, testing, deploying, and verifying the efficacy of TTPs is highly flawed and inconsistent.
