Cyber attackers don’t play fair—and they’re targeting state, local, and education organizations more than ever. In this session, we’ll step into the adversary’s shoes through live attack demonstrations and real-world case studies, showing how the MITRE ATT&CK framework reveals their tactics and strategies.
