Spanish 2D artist specialized in pixel art, currently working in the videogame industry.

I’ve always had a creative spirit and, after studying product design, I discovered that any artistic discipline had something fascinating to offer me. That’s how I came to pixel art: because drawing a picture is fine, but seeing your art come to life and interacting with it is something else.

The more I drew, the more I learned; and the more I learned, the more I experimented. Before making the leap into the industry, I developed and published several games on Itch.io, which allowed me to improve my skills and explore new ideas. That process of exploration eventually led me to turn my passion into a profession.

For as long as I can remember I have always been interested in science. That is why when the time came I decided to start studying physics, I wanted to know how the world worked, and it was studying physics when I realized that I needed to investigate even the most basic of the world: mathematics.

After a change of career I was able to start studying my passion, learning how everything worked, finding explanations and solving almost impossible formulas was something inexplicable, but it was then when my life took a curious turn.

Let’s just say that someone who did not get along well with computer science ended up studying computer science and it has been the best decision I have ever made.

Currently I am a Systems Technician at Inerco, where I am growing in this field and learning a little more every day, but I have been very lucky to be able to participate in R&D projects as a Data Scientist internally in the company. It is here where my small (still) trajectory in the world of Artificial Intelligence and Data science begins, in this time I have learned to create my own artificial intelligence, how it works from the inside and how I can resemble the AI to the human brain itself and even get to draw conclusions of what we will see in a very short time in the world of technology thanks to these advances.

And finally one very important thing: mathematics cannot be owned, mathematics is the fruit of mother nature.

LinkedIn has a serious problem with fake accounts. During 2022 and part of 2023, several attacks have been perpetrated, many of which originated with fake job offers posted on LinkedIn, and as one of them ended with the theft of more than 500 million in cryptocurrencies. That same year, companies such as Apple, Amazon and Microsoft teamed up to take down nearly a million fake profiles of purported workers from these companies. By the end of 2022 and during the current year, fake profiles with high-level roles, such as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) or Chief Technical Officer (CTO), have proliferated. LinkedIn users have known for years that fake profiles exist on the social network and are aware of scam and phishing attacks via messages sent by LinkedIn. Today, attacks are becoming more elaborate and sophisticated, and LinkedIn is not doing a good job of eliminating, slowing down or stopping these types of attacks, as attackers are using today’s technology, such as images and content generated by artificial intelligence. During this talk we will look at what type of technology attackers are using to generate fake content on LinkedIn and how companies can defend against, detect and eliminate these targeted attacks. This will include guidelines on how to assess company health on LinkedIn, as well as practical examples of how to extract company and employee information in a fully automated way. During the talk, examples of fake profiles will be shown, as well as several real-time demos on profile capture, extraction, evaluation and mass profile detection.

My beginnings in the world of IT and technology started in the field of SysAdmin. My first work experience in this field was in an international engineering company, where I was able to observe and participate in the internal processes that organizations follow to manage their technology infrastructure. Although I was passionate about the world of SysAdmin, I was always a cybersecurity geek, which led me, after a year, to make the leap to Digital Forensics through computer forensics, working in a firm specializing in computer forensics and forensic analysis.

During my time in the forensic sector, I discovered how passionate I was about investigations, which motivated me to move on to a new challenge: working in DFIR in large corporate environments. I left the forensics field to fully embrace the challenging and exciting discipline of Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR), joining a cybersecurity consulting firm, Deloitte, where I currently work. This discipline combines investigative skills with team management capabilities, resources and technical expertise essential for responding to cyber incidents and investigating post mortem incidents.

During my short but intense experience at DFIR, I have worked on the front lines of ransomware, web exploits, fraud, phishing, insider threats and corporate analysis, helping companies identify how they were exposed, protect their assets and recover from attacks. In my current role as Senior Cyber Security Analyst at Deloitte, my day-to-day is focused on team management, investigations and cyber incident response, covering Windows, Linux, iOS and Android systems. I apply the fundamental principles of DFIR, including gathering and preserving evidence, interpreting key data, and writing technical and executive reports to mitigate risks, understand what happened, and improve the organizations security posture.

Alcolea Party will be my first experience as a communicator, a great personal and professional challenge, as it is not exactly one of my strong points. However, I am motivated by the idea of sharing first-hand what day-to-day incident response is like, as well as transmitting my experiences, the knowledge I have acquired and my perspective on how to deal with them.

Graduated in telematics engineering from the University of Jaén. I have several postgraduate degrees among which are: official master’s degree in computer security from the International University of La Rioja (UNIR), master’s degree in offensive security from the Catholic University of San Antonio de Murcia (UCAM), master’s degree in Microsoft business environments, master’s degree in business administration and management from the International University of La Rioja (UNIR).

I am currently developing my professional career as an Offensive Security Engineer and for more than five years I have been working in the field of cybersecurity. From the point of view of certifications I have some of the most relevant in the industry as OSCP, CRTO, PNPT, eWPT, eJPT, CCNA, CSX, CAP. I am positioned in more than seven halls of fame for having found vulnerabilities to entities such as NASA, Nestle, Glovo, Jaen City Council, University of Jaen, Indra, Berlin, US Health Service among others.

I have several 0-days to my name positioning me in the INCIBE CNA ranking with a total of 4 CVE found.

I am a founding member of the cybersecurity congress Hackén in Jaén.

A graduate in privacy and cybersecurity law from Indiana University, Mar has spent the last five years studying the intricacies of cyberwarfare, the regulation of cryptocurrencies, and the legal effects of the lack of privacy in democracies.

I currently find myself deciphering the crossword puzzles of the different regulations of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity in an increasingly complex reality. I work as counsel in an American company where most of our clients are government entities. My next goal is CISSP certification, so if anyone has any advice on how to prepare for it, feel free to reach out for a chat.

Industrial engineer with a binary heart.

Since I was very young I was very interested in computers. I remember watching Jurassic Park and what I liked the most was to see the park programmer manipulating the gates from his computer. I know, he was the bad guy but I liked it when he typed and things happened. It was magic to me.

My first computer was a Pentium 200 MMX with Windows 95. I was 15 years old. I had to learn how to format it because I often crashed it by tinkering in the system32 directory. I had access to the internet for the first time when I entered university and started participating in forums and delving into software development.

Over the years, that passion has been kept alive, leading me to create practical solutions in my day-to-day life by combining software and hardware.
