Cybernews takes a close look at the rise and fall of Trickbot and Conti, featuring Alex Holden’s insight into the behind-the-scenes events that helped expose and weaken one of the most notorious cybercriminal operations in history. Holden shares rare first-hand context on how our visibility into the group and thier internal fractures contributed to the Trickbot and Conti downfall.
Hold Integrity’s Domain Integrity Service has released a major upgrade that significantly expands SSL/TLS visibility, enhances reporting, and introduces new automated detection capabilities to identify suspicious certificate activity faster.
Hold Security indexes and correlates public and private/confidential resources on the Dark Web and Internet to identify malicious and threatening events. Our comprehensive Threat Intelligence Services provide visibility into cyber-criminal activities. We utilize our unique vantage points to derive invaluable intelligence. Hold Security Threat Intelligence Analysts examine threat data and interpret it to eliminate false positives.
Stolen user credentials are among the most frequent causes of breaches. Whether it is your company's employee or user credentials that have been stolen, or if a service provider you trusted with their credentials has experienced a breach, cybercriminals may exploit them for their malicious purposes.

With simple and flexible portal access or customized reports created by our analysts, your domain names and brands will be protected using comprehensive and swift identification and alerting of new or existing threats.
Most security architectures are built around vendor guidance, compliance frameworks and assumed best practices. But real attackers don’t follow these models. Adversaries are adapting faster than most defensive programs, exploiting predictable gaps and repeated design mistakes. The stakes are high, and organizations need to rethink their approach to stay ahead.
This session focuses on building cyber defenses grounded in real-world attack patterns rather than theoretical frameworks. Drawing from direct observations of threat actor behavior, we’ll explore where defensive architectures fail, why these failures persist and how they are leveraged in modern intrusions. Attendees will gain practical guidance to align defenses with how attacks actually happen, addressing challenges like AI-driven threats, criminal ecosystems and the impact of human error.
Key Takeaways:
- Identify and eliminate repeatable failure points in security architectures.
- Design defenses based on real-world attack paths, not theoretical frameworks.
- Adapt continuously to evolving threats, including AI-driven attacks.
- Mitigate the impact of human error on otherwise well-designed systems.
