Digital Assets Through the Lens of a Cyber Intrusion & Ransomware Incident
The world of cybersecurity is changing, and agentic AI is at the heart of it. Is this powerful new technology a tool for building more secure systems, or a new frontier for sophisticated attacks?
Join us for Agentic AI: A Cybersecurity Perspective, an exclusive event designed for college students and cybersecurity professionals. This is your chance to go beyond the headlines and explore the real-world implications of agentic AI.
We’ve brought together a panel of leading cybersecurity professionals and executives for an evening of insightful discussion. They’ll share their perspectives on the challenges and opportunities that agentic AI presents, from both offensive and defensive standpoints.
“Please Verify”: How Human Behavior Undermines Blockchain Security
Humans are a critical link to the security of any complex system, and blockchains are no exception. Sometimes, even basic assumptions are not met in practice; we observed that some service providers or users do not properly check transactions, whether purposefully (for latency benefits) or inadvertently (due to operational mistakes). These unexpected behaviors pose new challenges to blockchain security. We develop a detection algorithm to scan two years of Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain (BSC), characterize attack patterns, extrapolate large attack groups, and bound the attacker’s computational capability through measurement and simulation.
