The 2026 Attackers Playbook:
Hacking Trust

Thursday, December 4, 2025 3 p.m. AEDT | 12 p.m. SGT
9:30 a.m. IST | 1 p.m. JST Caleb Boyd & Siddharth Jain

The attacker’s playbook has been completely rewritten, and, in 2026, trust is the new attack surface.

The tactics are evolving fast: AI-powered phishing, deep social engineering, and precision targeting that maps your org chart before you even know it. This is the hacker’s playbook for the year ahead and you need to see it before they run the plays.

In this session, Varonis Threat Labs will walk you through the entire attack journey — from the first phishing email to the final payload. You’ll see exactly how attackers exploit trust and what you can do to stop them.

Bonus: Every attendee will receive an exclusive 2026 Security Planning Guide to help ensure your organization is protected.
