Continuously proving himself to be one of the go to guys in this area of IT Security, Tom has worked with both the UK government and major multinational organisations to help improve their security posture.
From early on in his career, Tom noticed that he had a particular talent for writing tools and malware to covertly compromise systems. By using these tools on client engagements, Tom is able to simulate advanced threat actors by emulating techniques that are used ‘in the wild’.
In this seminar, Tom will discuss why some of these offensive techniques are so successful, whilst highlighting how difficult it is for a defensive capability to detect them.
