Learning the lessons from cybersecurity trash fires at TC Disrupt 2023
Reading Time: 3 minutesWe’ve all seen headlines about major hacks and data breaches of major companies — it can feel like nobody’s safe. Security is a constant learning curve, and what we learn when things go wrong can help defend against similar threats and would-be incidents in the future.
In a session called ‘What We Can Learn from Cybersecurity Trash Fires,’ our panel will talk about the lessons we can take from some of the cybersecurity horror stories — or ‘trash fires’ — they’ve seen in their careers.
In this judgment-free space, we’ll discuss how security incidents can be prevented by learning and heeding the lessons from yesteryear. You’ll hear hand-picked examples of cybersecurity trash fires from the top professionals in their fields, and you’ll take away actionable advice and relatable guidance on both what — and what not — to do.
Come to learn how to make the world less hackable, and leave with the tools and knowledge to take on the challenges as the next generation of security leaders.
