Agenda

Traditional compliance training often fails to create real behavior change. This session introduces a next-generation approach to Security Awareness Training (SAT) that uses cinematic storytelling, immersive design, and neuroscience principles to build lasting security instincts. Through Locked Out, a motion-captured training experience built in Unreal Engine 5, attendees will see how emotion and atmosphere can make security lessons unforgettable. Learn how to evaluate your current SAT program and apply immersive techniques that transform knowledge into instinct.

We often talk about threats in terms of dollars lost, data stolen, or headlines made. But the real threat lives deeper—in the structure, the strategy, and the growing ambition of the actors behind the screen. Today’s cybercriminals don’t just encrypt files; they build economies, launder, influence, and forge alliances that stretch across borders and industries. In this talk, we’ll peel back the layers of modern cybercrime and explore how loosely affiliated hackers have evolved into organized syndicates. These groups operate more like multinational corporations than rogue disruptors—complete with HR departments, recruitment pipelines, insider relationships, and state protections.
