@SecondCaptains lads, if you’re in need of an Italian-language audio bed for the show later, get your ears around this. Sent by an Inter-supporting friend of mine in Milan just after the final whistle. Quality. https://t.co/cSYSpwF52V

At #irisscon 2024, it was fascinating to hear from @TrendMicro's @bobmcardle on how AI is really being used by cybercriminals, and how this differs from common perceptions @irisscert @BrianHonan @SmithFabbro

See the @InfosecurityMag write up here: https://t.co/BoCgWGWkJ7

@DanRaywood @BrianHonan Great to see you again Dan, delighted you enjoyed the con and hope you had a safe trip back. See you again soon!

The closing keynote at #IRISSCON looks at the effect of burnout on senior cybersecurity professionals, based on research from @EleanorDallaway.

[Gordon Smith @SmithFabbro]

We've covered #AI in great depth and with interesting perspectives at #IRISSCON today. Now @craigbalding is looking at AI's dual nature and how cybersecurity professionals can use it to enhance their work.

[Gordon Smith @SmithFabbro]

We're on the home straight in the 2024 edition of #IRISSCON. Up now, Sebastian Castro of @dot_ie talking about a collaborative academic report involving nine experts and a year's work researching phishing attacks in top-level country domains.

[Gordon Smith @SmithFabbro]

Excellent on-the-whistle reporting from @ReporterCoker at #IRISSCON, quoting Phillip Larbey from @VZDBIR, @gattaca and Rich Mogull.

IRISSCON: Organizations Still Falling Victim to Predictable Cyber-Attacks https://t.co/PbD3jSDvIJ

[Gordon Smith @SmithFabbro]

Ransomware incidents are up, but who's committing them and what tactics are they using? Dick O'Brien from @symantec's threat hunter team explores the subject at #IRISSCON

[Gordon Smith @SmithFabbro]

"I'm fascinated with crime" -- @JakeMooreUK talks clones and deepfakes at #IRISSCON.

[Gordon Smith @SmithFabbro]

Now speaking at the first of the afternoon sessions at #IRISSCON -- @J4vv4D talking about security awareness -- why do it and what can we improve?

[Gordon Smith @SmithFabbro]

Every step in an attack represents an opportunity for defenders to learn. "The problem is, we live in a world where we are drowning in data & alerts. We don’t want visibility, we want insight. We don’t want to see more, we want to understand more." @rik_ferguson at #IRISSCON

[Dan Raywood @DanRaywood]

Very interesting insights on #deepfake uses by criminals, including in fake kidnapping videos, bypassing kyc settings and in helping phishers get one time passwords via phone calls to victims. @bobmcardle at #irisscon

[Gordon Smith @SmithFabbro]

Next up at #IRISSCON, @rik_ferguson is presenting about an important topic: call it cybersecurity self care. How professionals can keep themselves and their teams can avoid panic mode.

[Gordon Smith @SmithFabbro]

Paul Stanley of @ncsc_gov_ie is talking about the NIS2 directive at #IRISSCON

[Gordon Smith @SmithFabbro]

First up after the break at #IRISSCON: @bobmcardle on threats related to AI. He argues that it's one of the most hyped areas but the reality is tamer than the imagination of researchers, who tend to focus on what *could* happen.

[Gordon Smith @SmithFabbro]

Keeping up the strong law enforcement connection that's been a theme of #IRISSCON since the very start, we now have Det Supt Jock Mullen of @GNCCBinfo @gardainfo.

[Gordon Smith @SmithFabbro]

Now speaking at #IRISSCON - Onur Korucu of @governid talking about why cybersecurity needs C-suite attention.

[Gordon Smith @SmithFabbro]

@FVT @BrianHonan @gattaca @J4vv4D @rmogull Sorry to hear that, Thomas. Keep yourself well and best wishes for your recovery.
