Beyond the Zero-Day: Map Your Network the Way Attackers Do

Assume the breach. Zero-days continue to ship faster than patches, and AI-assisted exploit development has rendered the "patch everything in time" strategy obsolete for most organizations. In an upcoming live webinar, HD Moore — creator of the Metasploit Framework and CEO of runZero — will demonstrate how attackers actually view a corporate network, and why the gap between that view and yours is the real source of risk.

The core problem Moore calls the "segmentation illusion": the assumption that critical systems sit isolated behind firewalls, when in reality a single multi-homed device can quietly bridge two zones, shadow IoT gear answers on segments it shouldn't, and entire OT environments hide behind industrial protocol gateways that conventional scanners never inspect. None of it appears on the asset inventory — but all of it is reachable. Defenders manage a list; attackers read a map. You can begin auditing your own exposure from the outside in with a quick port scan to see what services your perimeter is actually advertising to the internet.

The session will walk through techniques for surfacing unknown assets, identifying the cross-zone bridges that break segmentation assumptions, and replacing static inventories with live attack-path mapping that traces how a single foothold could pivot to something that hurts. Whether your environment mixes corporate IT, IoT, and operational technology on a factory floor, the seams between them are where incidents begin. Before attending, run a privacy checkup on your own browsing posture to understand how much of your digital footprint is already visible to adversaries.

Save your seat for the live session, or register to receive the recording. The handful of remediation decisions that actually shorten an attacker's route to impact are the ones worth focusing on — and you cannot make them until you see the network the way an attacker already does.
