The Lazarus Heist:
From Hollywood to High Finance Inside North Korea’s Global Cyber War
One of the most incredible cyber-espionage stories, told by one the UK’s best tech journalists.
Join us in person on 19 November, London
In this edition of QA Talks, we’re spotlighting cyber and AI security as we sit down with award-winning technology journalist, Geoff White, as he examines how hackers have harnessed cutting-edge technology to fuel some of the most infamous cyberattacks the world has ever seen.
From WannaCry, a cyber-attack that brought NHS hospitals to a dangerous standstill to causing mayhem in Hollywood with the infamous Sony hack. Geoff uncovers the secret world of the Lazarus Group, their victims and those who have tried - and so far, failed - to stop them.
So, what’s at the critical intersection of cyber and AI security? What are the risks – and what can we do about it?
We’re about to find out.
Geoff’s talk will be followed by a panel discussion with fellow journalist Jamie Bartlett and our Portfolio Director Richard Beck to unveil the threats and challenges businesses are facing right now. And what we can do about it.
- Real insight into business risks surrounding cyber and AI security
- Actionable advice on how to implement protective measures into your business
- Protective process to harness your business against risk
