In this talk, Jeff reveals the five key ways outside attackers gain internal access and outlines defenders' three core objectives: reducing initial access, lowering detection and response time, and slowing down attackers. Through live demonstrations, real-world examples, and even a unique Mario Kart analogy, this talk provides actionable insights into detective controls and slowing down attackers. Emphasizing that prevention is ideal but not always possible, the session focuses on minimizing, detecting, and accelerating response to incidents, arming attendees with the tools to outpace attackers and safeguard their environments.
