Join Darktrace and members from the widersecurity community for an executive panel at our Defender Lounge in Novela.

China nexus-actor cyber activity has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past two decades, evolving from noisy, infrastructure‑heavy operations to highly adaptive, identity‑centric intrusion ecosystems optimized for stealth, persistence, and strategic leverage. Yet even as tools, infrastructure, and initial access vectors have diversified, the underlying behavioral logic of these operators hasremained far more consistent than most defenders realize. This panel presents the results of a multi‑year research effort built primarily on Darktrace’s proprietary behavioral telemetry, enriched—but not driven—by open‑source reporting. It will feature members of the Darktrace Field CISO team and members of the wider cybersecurity community, who will discuss the effects of these developments across industries.
