Spikes and dominoes...Can dark net tremors predict the next data breach? 

Abstract: If you could monitor trafficked data flow and data breaches in the dark net, what would you find? Patterns, new attack trends, the next major data breach? This session offers the insights found from studying over six years of hacker trafficked data correlated with data breaches. Patterns in trafficked data pulled from real world data incidents that match across a wide range of threat actors.
