From ShinyHunters to AI Attacks: Inside Varonis Threat Labs

What does it take to stay ahead of today's most dangerous cyber threats? Rotem Tsadok, Director of Security Operations and Forensics at Varonis, pulls back the curtain on Varonis Threat Labs (VTL), who are the team of researchers, incident responders, and security experts dedicated to discovering emerging threats (like the Shiny Hunters hacker group) before they become tomorrow's headlines. Rotem shares one of the most surprising attacks he's encountered: threat actors using deepfake technology and fake identities to infiltrate organizations as legitimate employees. He also explains how AI is changing the threat landscape, lowering the barrier to entry for attackers, accelerating attack speed, and creating new challenges around trust and identity. From uncovering novel attack paths to analyzing major threat actors such as ShinyHunters and other cybercriminal groups, Varonis Threat Labs helps the security community better understand the evolving threat landscape and prepare for what's next.
