"Hiding in Plain Sight: An APT Comes into a Market" on Tuesday will feature Kaspersky researchers Alexey Firsh and Lev Pikman opening the kimono on previously undisclosed threat intelligence regarding a nation-state cybercriminal group.

"Zero-day Exploits of Operation WizardOpium," also on Tuesday, will feature Kaspersky researchers Anton Ivanov and Boris Larin offering a deep dive and new information regarding the weapons arsenal of a sophisticated threat group.

FitzPatrick, who spoke at last year's SAS event in Singapore, will use his session on Tuesday, "Hardware Hacking Under Quarantine," to show off almost a dozen unique avenues where an attacker might access PCI express interfaces in a computer's hardware in order to mount a direct memory access attack on the target system.

Frappier told Threatpost that the subject is important in the context of today's threat landscape given that falling for social-engineering attacks is an enduring issue, and at the same time, video has become an important communication avenue in today's challenging times.
