In this week’s special episode, we bring you the BlueHat Oct 23, day 1 keynote delivered by John Lambert, Microsoft Corporate Vice President and Security Fellow. In his BlueHat Oct day 1 keynote, John discusses the importance of incidents in the security field, strategies for finding security incidents, and the importance of looking beyond traditional defense measures to discover attackers and traces outside of one's network.
