The importance of identity within our field has been established. According to analysis from CrowdStrike, 8/10 attacks are identity-based. But what does that actually mean? How do we even define identity these days, and how has it changed?
To look into this, Robby has invited an expert within the field, Peter Barta. Peter works as a Senior Cloud Security Engineer at Rothesay, the UK's largest specialist pensions insurer, securing pensions for over 810 000 people, and has previously worked in Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM) which manages the Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global.
During their conversation, Peter takes us both to the far side of Security Engineering, as well as goes though some of the more standard best practice most organisations should have on their radar.
They talk about how you can design and create something that is user-friendly enough for everyone in an organisation, also the users not interested in identity or security. As well as the developer side of secret management, dynamic sessions, zero trust, and what he thinks security engineers should focus more on.

Bots; they can be both helpful assistants and harmful pests, and you’ll find them all over the internet targeting most public facing applications in some way or another. But what actually are they?
To explore the bad bots on the Internet, Robby is joined by someone that has spent the last seven years studying them, Dan Woods, Global Head of Intelligence, F5.
They talk about why Dan became fascinated by bots, real-life examples of how bots are being used, and what separates the sophisticated bots from the rest.
They also discuss if we are underestimating the sophistication and the motivation of the organisations behind these automations, how botnets and human click farms work, and whether Elon Musk will be able to solve his bot problem on Twitter.

Darkwebs
Most of us have our ideas and perceptions of what the Dark Web is. But could it be more than just the dark side of the World Wide Web?
To talk about the Dark Web, Robby is joined by Keven Hendricks, Dark Web Subject Matter Expert at The Ubivis Project. Keven has worked in law enforcement in the US since 2007, in areas such as computer and mobile device forensics, and Dark Web investigations. In 2021, Hendricks founded The Ubivis Project – StopDarkwebDrugs.com as a medium for both law enforcement and civilians to report Dark Web vendors and overdoses.
Holding more experience than most within this area, he now works to break the stigmas out there about what the Dark Web is, what you can find on the Dark Web, and particularity what you can do as an investigator or researcher involving the Dark Web. He also teaches this to law enforcement and other public sector entities including the Department of Defense.
Keven and Robby dive into the misconceptions around the Dark Web, what Keven’s learned about Dark Web investigations, how accessible the different Darknets have become, as well as why the Dark Web has become important for privacy and free speech in some countries.
