DEEP608 v10 | Back to Back to Basics

We invite security professionals, leaders, and practitioners to take a purposeful step back and reassess the foundations of cybersecurity in an increasingly complex threat landscape. Over the past decade, cyber threats, technologies, and defenses have evolved rapidly—but many of the most impactful breaches still trace back to familiar root causes. This year's Deep608 will reflect on the last ten years of cybersecurity, examining what has truly changed, what has remained surprisingly consistent, and how lessons from the past can better inform today’s security strategies.

Through expert-led discussions and practical insights, the symposium will emphasize the importance of revisiting core cybersecurity principles and hygiene. Topics will include fundamentals such as asset visibility, patching, identity management, and user awareness—areas that are often overlooked as organizations chase the latest tools and trends. By returning “back to back to basics,” attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how strengthening foundational practices can significantly improve resilience, reduce risk, and prepare organizations for the threats ahead.
