You receive an unexpected email from a stranger. Inside – a description of a security vulnerability in your company’s product or system. What should you do? How should you treat this message? And how can you protect yourself and your clients from potential blackmail or fraud? These are some of the issues that Gynvael Coldwind, one of world’s most renowned cybersecurity experts, will address in his talk.
A Leader’s Guide to Vulnerability Reports
Cyberattacks are now among the most common forms of crime worldwide. No one is immune – not government institutions, not global corporations, nor everyday users. The safety of global finance, databases, and corporate systems depends on the ability to detect and respond to cyberattacks. Those who understand how cybercriminals operate – ethical hackers – play a critical role in this process.
But how do they work? How should organisations communicate with them? And how can you distinguish a genuine security report from an attempted extortion? Serving as a guide to the world of ethical hacking will be Gynvael Coldwind – programmer, information security systems expert, and lifelong enthusiast of the field. His keynote, part of the first day of Masters & Robots 2025, will serve as a guide for leaders navigating the complex landscape of cybersecurity. Join us on 21st October at Multikino Złote Tarasy in Warsaw.
Gynvael Coldwind’s talk is part of the Cybersecurity track, powered by Velo Bank and BLIK.
