Tis the Season to Outsmart Attackers: What Kevin McCallister Can Teach Us About Cyber Deception

This holiday season, take a cue from one of the most inventive defenders ever—Kevin McCallister. Like Kevin, modern defenders succeed by knowing what matters most, anticipating attacker moves, and using every tool strategically.

Join the MITRE Engage Lead to explore how crown jewel analysis, network profiling, and strategic placement can transform your deception program from tactical to transformational. You’ll also discover Living Off the Land Engagement (LOTLE) techniques-using existing IT assets to build authentic, low-friction deception layers that outsmart adversaries.

End the year with a session that blends holiday nostalgia and practical insight—showing how smart strategy and creative thinking can make your network every bit as unwelcoming to attackers as Kevin’s house was to the Wet Bandits.
