Overview

Cybercrime is a growing trillion-dollar industry, driven by the recent proliferation of infostealers and the increasing accessibility of AI tools. Despite years of countermeasures, threats continue to outpace defenses, leaving organizations vulnerable to attacks.

In this webinar, Caleb Barlow, CEO of Cyberbit and former IBM X-Force leader, dives into the roots of cybercrime and draws insights from his 2016 TED talk, which has been viewed over 1.7 million times, to explain what has changed in the past decade (and what hasn't). Join us to learn:

  • Why cybercrime remains so profitable
  • The rise of infostealers and their off-the-shelf availability
  • How to make your organization a harder target for criminals
  • The critical role of threat intelligence sharing in disrupting attacks

With crime increasingly shifting to the dark web, Caleb will also give insights on why security teams need access to this intelligence source and how without reliable access to this critical data, you have a massive blind spot in your operations - leaving you blind to criminality being planned on the dark web - including ransomware attacks, targeting of your VIPs and executives, and the trafficking of illicit goods and sensitive information.

Ben Jones

Strategic Advisor and Co-Founder at Searchlight Cyber

Ben Jones is the Co-Founder and former CEO of Searchlight Cyber. Ben started his career in defense and aerospace as an engineer designing unmanned aircraft. He transitioned into cybersecurity after recognizing the evolution of warfare towards virtual battlefields and the rapid growth of cyber threats to nations, organizations, and individuals. Searchlight launched in 2017 to help governments and law enforcement protect society from criminal threats across the dark, deep, and clear web. The company has since been involved in some of the world's largest dark web investigations and has now brought that same attacker intelligence and exposure management to enterprise security teams. As a strategic advisor, Ben supports the global cybersecurity firm in driving its commercial growth internationally and the development of its preemptive threat exposure management platform – equipping security teams with the visibility to neutralize threats before they become attacks.
