This presentation will focus on leveraging knowledge of your own environment to defend yourself. Consciously identifying and building protections around key assets and information that an adversary would target, allows for the most effective protection for the enterprise. We will discuss several attack/defense scenarios, the associated systems and infrastructure involved and key areas to protect. We’ll also show how effort invested to enumerate critical assets can allow the defender to quickly prioritize actions for the greatest effect.
