A super informative talk about insider threats and how to approach this as a practitioner from Suril Desai at #BSIdesSD 2025

"When the IAM admin is the threat: tales from battling with insiders"

"The Art of Vulnerability Hunting: Key Indicators to Look for in Any Application"
Yash Shahani's first talk every at #BSidesSD

Tools are great, but they only find the things they are designed to find; we need humans to find everything else.

Glad I got to hear this first-time talk from Dan Beaulieu at #BSidesSD
"Information Security: Embracing the Generalist"

There is a real need for folks who know a little about everything to bridge the gaps in the org

Always a pleasure to see Matt Scheurer share his knowledge of how we got here in security with his talk: "Lies, Telephony, and Hacking History"
This time at #BSidesSD
