Experience Sharing Forum UK
We’re excited to bring the Experience Sharing Forum back to the UK.
For years, mnemonic has gathered the UK cybersecurity community for our bi-annual Experience Sharing Forum. No sales, no marketing — just genuine experience sharing among peers in the security field.
This November, we're excited to bring our Experience Sharing Forum back to the UK in the exclusive Scotch Malt Whisky Society’s private members' bar in London. Twenty of the UK’s top cybersecurity experts will come together for discussions on current industry trends, networking, and a guided whisky tasting featuring the Society’s finest malts.
mnemonic’s Experience Sharing Forums are hosted across Europe with the goal of bringing together the security community to share, network and learn from each other. Each forum is tied to a topic, and may include presentations, panel discussions, roundtables and interactive activities to help facilitate experience sharing amongst all attendees. This is a sales and marketing free zone.

CurveBack - A Backdoor Analysis Over the past decade, China-nexus based backdoors have evolved rapidly, producing several well-documented malware families. In autumn 2023, the mnemonic Incident Response Team (mIRT) uncovered a new, previously undocumented backdoor during an espionage campaign investigation. Understanding the development of these malware families is crucial for defenders. This talk will present key findings from our analysis of this backdoor and offer insights on detection strategies. |

Unboxing the black box - Vulnerabilities and incident response in appliances In recent years, appliances have attracted growing attention from cyber attackers, leading to a surge in critical vulnerabilities exploited in both targeted and widespread attacks. Often viewed as "black boxes", these appliances present challenges for customers due to their lack of transparency and limited control. This presentation will provide insights from our experience with appliance vulnerabilities and incident response. |
