This keynote talk by Tim Pappa challenges common beliefs and attitudes about hackers. Drawing on recent research, it reveals surprising insights into the motivations of young cybercriminal offenders.
Tim’s talk features a brief cyber behavioral analysis case study on the PowerSchool hack and the individual responsible, and will more broadly examine whether there is a unique victimology among cybercriminals who might target your school networks and data. The presentation prompts rethinking cybercriminal behavior and demonstrates how foundational behavioral insights can help you better protect your networks.
