6.30pm - TALK: “The Rise of Cryptocurrency Exploits and Facebook’s Libra” - Vladlena Benson (PDF)
7.15pm - Break and gathering input on future events
7.30pm - TALK: “Advances in modern Attack Bots” - David Warburton (PDF)

Here are details of the talks!
“The Rise of Cryptocurrency Exploits and Facebook’s Libra” - Vladlena Benson is Director of the Cybersecurity & Innovation Cluster at #
Aston Business School and a Professor of Cybersecurity
With Facebook plans to launch its cryptocurrency Libra, Vladena asks, should we be concerned? Does the data usage of Facebook users
jeopardise the anonymity of cryptocurrency payments? Will the involvement of a number of data giants/monopolies further take the
data ownership away from users? Can regulation stay up to speed with cryptocurrencies? Can the security of cryptocurrencies which rely
on existing algorithms remain secure when constantly challenged by cyber attackers?
“Advances in modern Attack Bots” - David Warburton is an information security threat researcher for F5 Labs where he works on identifying
emerging cyber threats
Bots are a nuisance and the weapon of choice for DDoS attacks. But modern bots are capable of much more and are claimed to be behind
three quarters of all attacks that hit web sites and APIs. Bots now evade controls which try to differentiate between bots and humans.
Techniques to prevent attacks need to evolve. David will explain what bots are and how they’re created, what they’re now capable of,
which industries are most affected by them and how they are evolving to avoid our current defences.
