The cyber threat landscape has become the modern battlefield. Why are levels of incursion, unacceptable in any other forms of warfare, tolerated in cybersecurity? Cyber deception provides an opportunity to bring military expertise and concepts of traditional warfare into cyberspace. It offers a means to actively hunt and fight the enemy in our networks and prosecute an effective cyber defence campaign, protecting and defending the key terrain of our networks and data.

This session challenges your thinking about cyber defence and asks if we are making the right assumptions about operating in today’s contested virtual environment. How should we defend our networks in this unprecedented time? How should we make our networks more robust to deal with perpetual attacks? And what lessons can we bring in from military strategies and tactics, through the use of deception, to turn the tables on our attackers and bring the fight to them?
