The speaker is an expert in threat intelligence, is discussing the importance of understanding IoT partner CNC panels from a security perspective. The talk focuses on analyzing the threat landscape of IoT partners, examining techniques for hunting and compromising CNC panels, and understanding the attack execution model.

The speaker highlights that IoT partner CNC panels are designed to facilitate attacks and provides examples of different types of panels, including the Verizon IoT board CNC panel and the Kawari botnet CNC panel. The demonstrations show how these panels look like in real-time, exposing various tools and attack methods available for launching denial-of-service attacks.

The primary purpose of this research is to build intelligence and stay ahead of adversaries in securing internet infrastructure. The speaker emphasizes that a multi-facet approach is necessary to generate intelligence and defend against threats in the IoT hemisphere.

Key takeaways from the talk include:

1. IoT partner CNC panels are designed to facilitate attacks and require a deep understanding of their design and functionality.
2. A multi-facet approach is necessary to build intelligence and defend against threats in the IoT hemisphere.
3. Security controls must be implemented effectively and efficiently, with visibility into every aspect of IoT device design.
4. Configuration changes must be validated to ensure they do not impact security.

The speaker concludes by emphasizing that security is a continuous process, requiring ongoing effort and attention to stay ahead of adversaries.
