As both SyScan360 and INFILTRATE are just around the corner, it’s about time we release the long-awaited t2’17 keynote by Dave Aitel.  Whether you’re into policy, tactics, offense, defense, or meta in general, the keynote covers a whole gamut of cyber. For the younger generation, understanding the references and why they are relevant is a good starting point in a path of never-ending learning. Instead of dropping spoilers, here’s the actual presentation itself:

Friends of inconvenient truths, hard questions, analysis of cyber meta (or if you want to see Dave Aitel press volume control button during a presentation), this is the video to watch!

The keynote should be deemed mandatory for anybody working with cyber policy or lawyers.

In other words, we’re continuing the tradition of inviting former @stake / NSA employees / DailyDave posters  to speak at t2. If you’ve been reading mailing lists and not just clicking on random links from Twitter, you will probably agree that people who have been long enough in the game often have the kind of insight you can only get by having been there and done that. It is our pleasure to welcome Dave Aitel to deliver the keynote this year.

In case you were born after Miami Vice originally aired, do some googling and figure out a way to mention GOBBLES and our keynote speaker in the same sentence.
