Most attacks never truly disappear—they evolve. While the security world focuses on the latest threats, attackers have been quietly recycling tactics and adapting them to work in new ways. In this session, we'll take a step back and ask: what really happens after the headlines fade? And how can we prevent old threats from reemerging in the future?
We'll examine recent high-profile threats—campaigns that once made headlines, stressed out teams, and forced emergency patches—and explore where they are now. Are they gone? Evolved? Still slipping past defenses? You might be surprised.
This isn't just a walk down memory lane. It's a look at what these seemingly resolved threats tell us about today's risks—and how we might be misjudging what's truly behind us. We'll discuss evolving patterns, what that means for your security strategy, and how techniques like Full Content Inspection (FCI) uncover threats that legacy tools still miss.
If you're thinking about where to invest, how to get ahead of persistent threats, or how to avoid fighting yesterday's battles with tomorrow's budget—this session is for you. Because in cybersecurity, old tricks don't die. They just get better at hiding.
Key Takeaways for Security Leaders:
-
Why legacy attacks are resurfacing—and what that says about today's defensive blind spots
-
How to assess whether "solved" problems are quietly impacting your environment
-
Where traditional detection tools fall short—and how to think differently about inspection
