February 2023 Monthly Meeting

We are back IN-PERSON!!!
After 2 and a half years of completely virtual meetings, we are back at Lynn University for our regular in-person meeting.

Speaker: **Daniel Smith**
Company: **Radware**
Title: **Crisis and Escalation of the Threat Landscape**

Abstract:
In 2022, the threat landscape rapidly evolved, causing alarm among countries worldwide. They called for increased vigilance and cooperation as tensions between major powers led to more cyberattacks. As 2023 begins, the effects of the crisis in Eastern Europe on a global level are just starting to be seen as influential and patriotic hacktivists gain prominence. De-escalation seems unlikely, leaving many uncertain about the internet’s future.
