Keeping up with the ad versaries\n and why it takes a village\n Tags: Adversary Village | Cre ator Talk/Panel\n When: Friday\, Aug 7\, 14:00 - 14:45 PDT\n Where: LV CCW Level 1 Hall 3 1105 (Creator Stage 3) - [1]Map\n\n Description:\n\n Six years ago\, Adversary Village started as a simple idea\, give the\n people who study adversaries and adversarial tradecraft a place to\n c all home. What grew out of it was something bigger than any of us\n expe cted. A community of offensive security professionals\, adversary\n simu lation and emulation specialists\, threat researchers\, tool\n builders\ , philosophers and the endlessly curious\, all showing up to\n share wha t they know about thinking and acting like the adversary.\n Year after y ear the Village has been the place to dig into real\n adversary tradecra ft\, offensive TTPs\, simulation and emulation\n techniques\, hands-on l abs\, and the tools that make it all work. This\n panel looks back at ho w far we have come and forward at where we are\n headed. Adversaries nev er stop evolving\, from state-sponsored\n operators running long\, patie nt campaigns to ransomware crews and\n everyone in between\, and neither can we. We will talk about how the\n Village has kept pace in a realm t hat reinvents itself every year\, how\n the craft of adversary simulatio n and emulation has matured into a\n discipline of its own\, and why fai thfully replicating real adversary\n tradecraft has become essential to testing whether our defenses\n actually work. We will get into why keepi ng up is a job no single\n person or team can do alone\, and how a commu nity that trades knowledge\n freely ends up being the sharpest edge we h ave got. Most of all\, we\n will celebrate the people who built this\, t he volunteers\, the\n speakers\, the first timers who became regulars. S ix years in one thing\n is clearer than ever! It takes a village to keep up with the\n adversaries\, whether they are nation-state actors\, crim inal groups\, or\n threats we have not even named yet. Come raise a glas s with us and\n help shape what the next six years look like.\n\n Spea kers:Abhijith "Abx" B R\,Bryson Bort\,Anant Shrivastava\n\n SpeakerBio: Abhijith "Abx" B R\, Founder of Adversary Village\n\n Abhijith B R\, al so known by the pseudonym Abx\, has more than a decade\n of experience i n the offensive cyber security industry\, serves as the\n Director of Br eachSimRange\, and Founder of Adversary Village.
