Security Awareness Specialist, ESET

Join this talk to discover how Europe’s first full-out war of the 21st century has influenced and skewed the threat landscape. Based on the trends observed in ESET telemetry data in 2022, we will provide an overview of destructive wiper malware and present details of handpicked incidents that impacted Ukraine and its allies. We will also explore the shifting popularity of several intrusion vectors, including brute-force attacks against RDP and the endemic vulnerability in the Log4j library. To broaden the context beyond the Windows platform, we will zoom in on Android, the only category that saw continuous growth of detections throughout 2022.

Ondrej Kubovič joined ESET as Security Awareness Specialist in 2015 and has been presenting findings of ESET research in European media as well as at various international and regional IT security conferences. He had previously worked as a journalist focusing on security and cybersecurity topics.
