Agenda

In the past six months, a number of notable APT attacks have been revealed, targeting countries across the continent – from France to Eastern Europe and the Balkans – and across verticals – from government and military entities to private companies. In this talk, we'll take a look at several examples, including XDSpy, an APT group that managed to stay under the radar for nine years, Sandworm, one of the most dangerous APT groups in operation, and others. And with the SolarWinds hack making international headlines, we'll explore how supply-chain attacks have been playing a fundamental role in the arsenal of various threat actors.
