      A Fireside Chat With Brian Krebs

      When a computer worm — a malicious software program that can spread quickly — locked Brian Krebs out of his home computer in 2001, he felt exposed, vulnerable and utterly fascinated. Since then, Krebs, a seasoned investigative journalist, has dedicated his career to uncovering a particularly dark corner of the internet and is widely recognized by security experts and criminals alike as the preeminent authority on cybercriminal syndicates and their tools.

      Formerly with The Washington Post (1995 to 2009), Krebs is probably best known for breaking stories on high-profile data breaches, including those that hit Target, Home Depot, Michaels and Ashley Madison. Now, on his popular security blog KrebsOnSecurity.com, Krebs exposes information that can’t be found anywhere else, shedding light on the digital underground and dangerous activities of profit-seeking cybercriminals who make billions off pharmaceutical sales, malware, spam, heists and data breaches.

      Join us for a unique opportunity to talk to Brian Krebs live about his insights on cybercrime prevention and detection
