Inside the Hacker’s Playbook

Nov 05 2025

2:05 PM - 2:55 PM PDT

Milano III-IV

In this live, interactive session, Mike Wright will take attendees inside the mind of a hacker — showing how bad actors research, target, and infiltrate finance departments using publicly available information and common business processes. Step by step, you’ll follow a simulated attack from the first phishing email to the final ransomware demand. This session isn’t about scaring you — it’s about preparing you. You’ll leave knowing exactly how these attacks work and what changes you can make now to shut the door before it opens.

Top Takeaways:

  • How hackers select and research finance targets
  • What vulnerabilities they’re exploiting in real companies
  • Changes to make today to become a harder target
