Talk (40 minutes)
Challenge your perspective in this 40-minute talk exploring how cognitive biases impact investigations across threat intelligence, forensics, and malware analysis. This session highlights how even experienced practitioners can miss critical details by relying too heavily on ΠΏΡΠΈΠ²ΡΡΠ½ΡΠ΅ processes, tools, and assumptionsβand how refining observation and awareness can significantly improve outcomes.
Blending practical insights with real-world examples, the talk uncovers common mistakes seen in malware analysis and broader security workflows. While not deeply technical, it offers valuable lessons for all infosec professionals looking to sharpen their analytical mindset and avoid costly blind spots.
