RSVP Below
-------------------------------
What does a real cyber breach actually look like for an Edmonton organization?

• No theory.
• No vendor fluff.
• No “best practices” from a slide deck written in 2015.
• Pizza & pop provided 🍕🥤

On Thursday, February 26, OWASP Edmonton is teaming up with Accurate Networks to deliver a high-impact, real-world security event built for defenders who want to understand what attackers are doing right now—and how organizations actually survive it.

## 🎯 What You’ll Experience

### 🔹 A Sponsor Opening That Sets the Stakes

Luke Williams (Owner, Accurate Networks) will kick things off with a grounded, real-world framing:

> “What does a real breach look like for a mid-sized Edmonton organization—and how do you survive it?”

This is context for what comes next.

### 🔹 What Attackers Are Actually Doing (40 mins)

Speaker: Damian — Threat Researcher, Obsidian Security
Talk: “What Attackers Are Actually Doing Right Now (and Why It Works)”
You’ll learn:

• The attack chains defenders are seeing today (identity abuse, SaaS, OAuth, token theft)
• Where organizations think they’re secure vs where they’re actually exposed
• Practical lessons you can apply immediately-no matter your role or budget

This talk sets you up for the most engaging part of the night 👇

### 🔹 Optional Interactive Tabletop Exercise (TTX)

Step into the role of a security team responding to a live, escalating breach at a fictional Edmonton company.

• Small groups
• Realistic decision points
• Pressure, tradeoffs, and consequences
• Facilitated - not awkward

You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of how incidents actually unfold and why preparation matters more than tools.

### 🔹 Food, Networking & Community

• Food provided 🍕
• Facilitated networking (no standing alone on the sidelines)
• Meet local defenders, students, and leaders
• Learn how to get involved with OWASP Edmonton
