Abstract
Understanding the evolution of attacker motivations, and the impact to managing risk in enterprise environments is a key to successfully building cyber security programs in today's IT enterprise. Over the last decade both attacks, and attacker motivations have evolved dramatically. From Hacktivism to Nation State Actors, from Identity Theft Rings to Ransomware-as-a-Service, the motivations, timing, determination, and discipline of attackers has changed dramatically. This presentation will discuss this evolution from early cyber espionage and hacktivism to evolving nation state threats and how motivations drive behavior and risk decision making in enterprise cyber security programs.
