Is Defense Winning?

Black Hat USA 2024 · Day 1 · Briefing
In a thought-provoking and introspective session at Black Hat USA, a seasoned cybersecurity expert from Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs posed a fundamental question to the community: "Is Defense Winning?" This talk wasn't about a new exploit or a revolutionary defense technology, but rather a critical examination of the collective progress (or lack thereof) in cybersecurity over decades. The speaker challenged the audience to look beyond individual enterprise successes or failures and assess whether the global defense community is, on the whole, gaining ground against attackers.
