DFIR, Deepfake & Ransomware Crisis: The Fight to Protect Our Families & Businesses

The barrier to entry for cyber criminals has officially collapsed. It no longer takes a technical genius to bankrupt your business or a sophisticated setup to steal your child’s identity. It takes a leaked password at 2:00 AM and just two photos from a public social media profile. In a world where "prevention" tools are failing, this is the brutal, uncensored reality of what actually happens after the hack. We are joined by Will Poole and Oli Fletcher, the Co-Founders of Strand Intelligence, a UK-based platform that is revolutionizing Digital Forensics and Incident Response. As the former Principal Cyber Investigation Officer for the ICO, Will has investigated the UK's most high-profile breaches, giving him a rare view into exactly what companies try to hide from regulators and why they always get caught. Together with Oli, they are fixing a broken industry where high-end forensics was previously a "luxury craft" reserved for billionaires. They are on a mission to ensure mid-sized businesses don't face an "Economic Death Sentence" when insurers refuse to pay, while simultaneously fighting the "Agentic AI" threats now targeting our families in their own homes.
