KEYNOTE TOPICS

Ideas built for the stage.

01

Hacker's Perspective on New Risks: Revising Security Priorities

Januszkiewicz explores the dark side of rapid digital transformation. She demonstrates how hackers and cybercriminals exploit infrastructure with extreme precision, utilizing advanced phishing attacks, credential theft, ransomware distribution, and modern vendor-controlled system bypasses. Audiences gain insight on how to detect and intercept these moves within their own monitoring systems.

02

Attacks of the Industry: The Two-Sided Application of AI in Cyber Operations

While AI serves as a powerful defense mechanism, it acts as a highly dangerous weapon in the hands of malicious actors. Januszkiewicz analyzes how AI automates vulnerability discovery, accelerates the generation of advanced malware, and drives sophisticated facial and vocal impersonation attacks. She delivers real-world case studies and live hacking demonstrations to prepare organizations for AI-driven threats.

03

Active Directory & Identity Under Siege: Real-World Incident Recovery

Identity structures remain the primary target for modern ransomware campaigns. Januszkiewicz walks through actual disaster recovery missions, detailing how misconfigured access tiers, privileged access abuse, and weak Active Directory configurations lead to catastrophic enterprise-wide compromises. She provides actionable, low-overhead guidelines to establish Zero Trust and secure "Tier0" systems.
