Offensive Countermeasures: Defensive Tactics that Actually Work
PaulDotCom

USA 2011 Weekend Training Session //July 30-31
Overview:
One of the big questions we get is why Offensive Countermeasures are so important. Well, to be honest, you will need it someday. The current threat landscape is shifting. We need to develop new strategies to defend ourselves. Even more importantly, we need to better understand who is attacking us and why. Some of the things we talk about you may implement immediately, others may take you a while to implement. Either way, consider what we discuss as a collection of tools at your disposal when you need them to annoy attackers, attribute who is attacking you and, finally, attack the attackers.
More to the point, the old strategies of security have failed us and will continue to fail us unless we start becoming more offensive in our defensive tactics.
