Topic: Cyber Security in the Age of Ransomware
Speaker: Matt Lindsey, ORNL
Although a periodic nuisance for many years, Ransomware has recently come of age as a substantial geo-political and economic threat to the world economy. This talk will look at the unique tactics, incentives, and threat actors associated with this increasingly pernicious malware and arm attendees with strategies to protect their companies assets against attack.
About the speaker
Matt Lindsey is the Defensive Cyber Operations Lead and chief Threat Intelligence analyst for Oak Ridge National Laboratory and a long time Cyber education enthusiast in and out of work. A fifteen year veteran of the security industrial complex, he spends much of his time doing incident handling and tracking emerging threats throughout the IT world. When he’s not manning the thin blue line between federal networks and the Internet, he enjoys the traditional nerdy pastimes of podcasts, Firefly and Pokemon.
