Please join us on Friday April 18, 2025 for Super Cyber Friday.

Our topic of discussion will be “Hacking the Evolving DDoS: An hour of critical thinking about the changing threats to service availability.”

Joining David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series for this discussion will be:

Eduardo Ortiz-Romeu, vp, global head of cybersecurity, Techtronic Industries

In preparation for our discussion, think about the following:

What are the newest threats to service availability, DDoS or otherwise?

Where are we seeing attacks coming from? Is this changing?

What are some unexpected consequences of newer DDoS attacks?

Why does the increased reliance on automation make DDoS defense all the more imperative? Does this change how we keep humans in the loop?

Has the motivation for DDoS attacks changed over time?

What industries are we seeing most impacted by service availability attacks?

How do you us threat intelligence in your DDoS prevention strategy?

It all starts at 1 PM Eastern/10 AM Pacific. At the end of the hour [2 PM Eastern/11 AM Pacific] we'll switch gears to our meetup where everyone will get a chance to chat face to face.

Best bad ideas get first responses in "Department of YES" or “Beat the Bad Idea”.

The BEST bad idea wins an award and a really awesome CISO Series jacket. Also, if you register early by the Tuesday (5pm PT) of that week’s video chat, you will be entered into a raffle where one lucky register will win a jacket (Winners must be US residents. Repeat winners get a $25 Amazon gift card).

Super Cyber Fridays are open discussions where all viewers and listeners are welcome to become participants. Before the scheduled event, connect your webcam and microphone (avoid Bluetooth). During the discussion, if you have a question or comment, let it be known in the chat room and our producer will do his best to get as many of you into the conversation. We look forward to you joining us.
