These conferences are free to attend (you still need to register and receive a ticket), and invaluable to companies concerned about their security. I was fortunate enough to go to BSides Detroit on June 7th and 8th and caught some really great conversations. The following are a few highlights from the show: The Ever-Evolving Security Landscape Jeff Multz, Dell SecureWorks One of the strongest takeaways from Multz\u2019s talk was that companies should use compliance as a framework, because compliance doesn\u2019t mean total, impenetrable security (this reminds me of the Bashas supermarket chain being breached even while compliant). He cited that 92% of breach incidents were discovered by a third party, and that 40% of attacks in the past two years were directed at companies with fewer than 500 employees (the reason for this, Multz explains, is that smaller companies tend to have smaller IT budgets, which means security may be a little easier to bypass for an attacker). Multz also gave a list of motivations behind cyber crime: Financial gain Intelligence gathering..."}
