Speakers
Alex Tilley
With over 17 years of experience in computer security and cyber crime, Alex Tilley is a highly awarded cyber crime researcher. Beginning his career in the extremely regulated online casino industry on Australia’s Gold Coast Alex went on to implement and administer all manner of network security technologies within Australia’s banking industry. Tilley was on the forefront of research and countermeasures when phishing and malware first began to attack banking platforms and their customers, this work continued always on the cutting edge and saw Tilley become the Australian Federal Police’s senior cyber crime technical analyst where he combined his technical background with an analytical approach to the “who” and “why” of the cyber crime fight. This work saw Tilley become a supreme court recognised technical expert in the prosecution of cyber crime and child protection related offences. In 2016 Tilley made the decision to move back to the private sector accepting a position with SecureWorks Counter Threat Unit ™ (CTU), the research team that sets SecureWorks apart. Our researchers analyse threat data across our global client base and actively monitor the cyber threat landscape to provide a globalised view of emerging threats, zero-day vulnerabilities, and the evolving tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) of advanced threat actors. The CTU™ research team's primary objective is to protect your information and operations from today’s most advanced security threats, by applying its research and threat intelligence into all aspects of our security solutions.
