White Hacking
THIRD STREAM
Blockchain Security
First, we will review the basics of web3. Web3 is a business paradigm that focuses on decentralized applications based on distributed ledger technology. At the core of web3 is blockchain technology, which provides security and data transparency. Next, we will discuss the principles of smart contracts. These are autonomous programs that execute agreed-upon terms between two parties without the involvement of a third party. Creating and managing smart contracts requires a careful approach to security to prevent possible attacks, data and asset leakage.
We will reveal an important security aspect of smart contract development, namely the use of secure development practices, that will help prevent attacks on the business of a smart contract-based project.
The main focus of our webinars will be to explore the security of smart contracts before they are deployed. We will look at best practices, steps for external and independent auditing of smart contract code, and services and tools that smart contract security auditors use. Smart contract code auditing is an important step that must be taken before deploying a smart contract and launching a business project. It is imperative that code of smart contracts is secure and free of vulnerabilities.
Result-driven cybersecurity
FIRST STREAM
With the rapid pace of digitalization, information technology is becoming crucial for organizations. As digitalization increases, so does the activity of hackers who exploit vulnerabilities in IT systems for purposes ranging from vandalism to cyberterrorism. Every year, these attacks become more sophisticated and damaging. A single malware file can shut down a factory, disable hospital systems, disrupt train traffic, or halt air travel.
Traditional cybersecurity strategies focus on formal compliance with standards and regulations, often at the expense of tangible outcomes. It happens because leaders across business, IT, and cybersecurity departments tend to pursue disparate goals.
Now it’s time to prioritize and elevate cybersecurity to a new level. The result-driven cybersecurity methodology can serve as the foundation for an effective defense strategy. It focuses on preventing non-tolerable events by aligning the stakeholders, improving infrastructure resilience, and reengineering the processes. This approach allows companies to prevent significant damage, even if a hacker has infiltrated the IT-infrastructure.
We want you to become familiar with the basic concepts of result-driven cybersecurity:
What are non-tolerable events?
How do you determine them?
Why does top management play a key role in result-driven cybersecurity?
What is cyber transformation?
And how can hackers help you build an attack-resistant IT infrastructure?
