Title: Attacking & Defending Blockchains – Not just about Contracts & Vulnerabilities


There have been many high-profile security failures in blockchain systems related to smart contracts, bugs in popular software utilities, and use of wallets. Now that enterprises and governments are starting to look at adopting blockchain, digital ledgers, and sometimes IOT for enterprise use cases, we need to learn from the failures of the public community and not let these same mistakes end up within our implementations.

Topic: Insider Threat


Krina will share information about the threat many companies don’t regard as their biggest risk – the insider. Historically organizations prioritize external threats above insider threats, however employees pose major security vulnerabilities and account for nearly 90% of all security incidents. Some incidents are malicious/intentional, while the majority are unintentional when they let their guard down. Whether malicious or accidental, insider incidents can weaken customer trust and cause irreparable transactional and reputational damage. Understanding the potential threats and creating a holistic approach to managing insider risk is the key to safeguarding your ‘keys to the kingdom’.
