Zyston’s Sherwyn Moodley and James Hasewinkle to Speak at Prestigious BSides Toronto Virtual Event

Zyston’s Sherwyn Moodley and James Hasewinkle to speak at prestigious BSides Toronto virtual event:

On Saturday 6th November Sherwyn Moodley (lead penetration tester at Zyston) and highly regarded cyber security analyst, James Hasewinkle, will discuss the importance of protecting your business process at BSides Toronto. 

BSides is a community-driven framework that builds events for and by information security members to expand the spectrum of conversation within the cybersecurity realm. It creates an opportunity for intimate discussion and encourages collaboration as participants and presenters converse about the next-big-thing in digital security.

Information security tends to focus on securing assets and people, with frameworks such as the CIS top 18 and NIST. However, the business process itself poses just as great a risk if manipulated or breached, particularly as this can be harder to identify. One example of this type of hacking could be creating fake employees to exist on the payroll and extorting money.

There are previous cases of process hacking that have devastated businesses who thought they were taking the right measures to protect themselves in cyberspace. Don’t let that be you.

Discover more about why you should invest in protecting your business processes, and what that entails at the event.
