SkyDogCon is proud to announce that James Bower will be speaking again at SDC 7. James is the founder of the "CTF for the rest of us" that debuted at SDC 5. "Pen Testing is Dead: Adapt or Demise" should be insightful and helpful for all of us.
Abstract:
The ROI provided by a typical penetration test continues to diminish year after year. This can be seen by an ever changing threat landscape where more and more successful breaches are beginning from malicious attachments and links. With these newer threats bypassing perimeter defenses, C levels need to begin looking at their security postures through a different lens.
