Stanford EE Computer Systems Colloquium
4:15PM, Wednesday, January 8, 2014
NEC Auditorium, Gates Computer Science Building Room B3
http://ee380.stanford.edu[1]
Topic: Building a Trustworthy Business in the Post-Snowden Era
Speaker: Alex Stamos
Artemis Internet
About the talk:
The revelations caused by Edward Snowden's leak of thousands of
NSA documents have caused a great deal more political noise than
actionable intelligence for the infosec community. No matter what
you believe personally about Snowden, his motivations and the
morality of his actions, now that this information has become
public it is important for all professionals in our space to arm
themselves with any useful knowledge they can find and to apply
that knowledge to protecting the public from current and future
attacks.
In this talk we will summarize the technical details that have
come out as well as make some educated guesses as to how the NSA
is able to accomplish some of the feats claimed by Snowden. We
will then discuss what these details mean for the current
capabilities of nation-state level attackers and the future
capabilities of lesser online adversaries. Detailed
recommendations on how to protect yourself will be provided and
we will look into the crystal ball to predict what kinds of
advances we can foresee in the upcoming years.
About the speaker:

is proud to be launching the .Secure gTLD. He was the co-founder
of iSEC Partners, one of the world's premier security
consultancies and also a part of NCC Group. Alex has spent his
