BlueHat IL 2018 - John Lambert - The New Paradigm of Security Controls
We are seeing a new approach to security that is rippling across network defenders, products, and attackers alike. The world is moving from security on data to security from data. Defenders are transitioning from appliances that shrink data volumes to cloud approaches that capture more data than ever before. Innovators are seeking signals across user, device, and application activity, and building learning systems to master security insights from them. Users are central to this new world, as security solutions adapt from placing controls on them to creating controls from them. Attackers are adapting to these data driven systems as well. This talk will discuss these trends as well as new risks that arise from them. Speaker Bio: John Lambert has been at Microsoft for 17 years. He is the General Manager of the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center. The Center is responsible for detecting and disrupting adversary based threats aimed at Microsoft and its customers. Its mission is to drive detective innovations into products and services to raise the ability for every defender to deal with adversary based threats through security research, threat intelligence, forensics, and data science. Previously at Microsoft, Lambert worked in the Trustworthy Computing group for ten years and the Windows Security group on features related to cryptography and security management. He joined Microsoft after three years at IBM as a developer in their software group. Lambert holds a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Tulane University and is named on more than nine software patents and seven pending applications.
