Personal Details

Bio

I am a veteran global Cyber Security specialist.

For the last 15 years I have worked with businesses, banks and governments all over the world, helping them to re-design and implement their Cyber Security operations. Most notably I was the Senior Information Security Specialist for the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and the Head of Security Intelligence for the Israel E-Gov agency.

My expertise is communicating about IT and security in the various languages of clients, staff, senior and middle managers, computer experts, sales people, and the general public.

I bring excellent people skills, creative solutions to problems both strategic and operational, and the ability to execute them.

The Cyber Security Horror Show

A presentation full of true stories and live demonstrations of how attackers can steal sensitive information, whether from your home, office or mobile device.

Epic Failures in AI: Why Skynet Hasn't Happened (Yet)

Looking at popular fiction in books and cinema, we’ve all been expecting that by the 21st century AI will have advanced to the point of fully functioning self-aware machines. Reality, however, shows a different picture.

For every amazing Boston Dynamics robots video published, there are numerous videos and news articles showing epic failures of robots, image recognition algorithms and other AI based systems.

In this presentation, we will survey the development of AI across multiple fields, see the progresses made, but more importantly, the problems scientists and engineers are still facing today, and how they are planning to solve them (if they can at all).

Controlling the Narrative: Introduction to Cyber Deception

All so-called "next generation" solutions suffer from the same inherent weakness – they are mostly based on detection. Antimalware, sandboxes, IDS, and web filters, all claim to be able to understand, in real-time, if a certain piece of code is malicious or not. This is just not working anymore, if it ever did.

We have to shift the focus from "detection", into something that will allow organisations to take back control of the narrative. This can be achieved with Deception. This is not a new concept, but in the last couple of years there has been amazing advancements in the field, forcing the bad actors to expose themselves instead of trying (and failing) to hunt them down. This talk will explore the evolution of Deception based solutions since the 1970s, review different Deception based tactics, and present real-world cases both from my own experience and from the news.

Protecting your cyber space means my cyber space will be safer. That is the main idea out of Yul’s presentation, and hearing so from a professional makes you want to be more aware to the hazards out there. During his speech, you realize what could be the capabilities of those who can benefit from your information. More than that, you understand what simple things you can do to protect your personal and commercial data. I think it’s a must see presentation for anyone who deals with internet.
