Justin's talk title speaks for itself: “Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions” - the time I got in the middle of 100,000 Linux machines and their LVFS firmware updates and then somehow bypassed the fwupd PGP signature checking

Open source sits at the base of the software supply chain. Fraser talks about how critical it is for open source to establish security response teams and infrastructure. Listen to the experiences learned from bootstrapping and leading the Haskell security response team.

We're excited to announce we have Georgia back on stage with us to present 'Hacking Minds not machines: How meetings not malware can compromise your controls'!

Jumping on stage we have Simbo who will be talking all things SIEM in the talk "SIEM-less security; Panacea or placebo". Join us March 22 to see this talk and more at CrikeyCon. Get your ticket here: events.humanitix.com/crikeycon-x

Come learn with Kelsy how to develop your cyber team as trustworthy within an org, rather than a compliance function, and how increasing levels of perceived legitimacy may allow security teams to further leverage employees as practical and informed resources!

We cracked over 700 tickets, thank you so much for all your support! Many hugs from us, we'll see you next Saturday 🥰🐨

This year NTT is supporting our Women of CrikeyCon event on 20th March. Women of CrikeyCon provide a chance for attendees identifying as women, friends, and the wider community to meet before CrikeyCon to promote diversity and inclusion. Register here: events.humanitix.com/crikeycon-x-...

Next up we have Zane on stage to dive into the anatomy of credential attacks, exploring how attackers exploit stolen credentials, bypass defences, and leverage automation to maximize their success. Does MFA work, how well, and what else can you do in 'Credential Stuffing Unmasked'?

Aww yeah! @crikeycon.bsky.social schedule is up!! crikeycon.com/schedule/

Colby joins us on stage to talk Cyber security exercises D&D style. Get emersed through his talk on building scenarios and narrative, supporting player agency, and keeping things flowing in Tabletops & Dragons. #crikeycon
