Speaker: Lee BrotherstonTopic: A Glorious Celebration of IoT SecurityThe IoT industry is often lambasted for it’s security, and whilst there are talks about IoT security, most focus on exploitation of unpatched embedded OS’s which naturally appear on these systems. Having moved into a security role in an IoT vendor I have spent the last few months embedded (pun intended) in IoT security from the inside. This talk is intended to discuss some of the unique challenges that IoT faces from security, and attempts to explain why some of the issues that occur, occur. Finally we are going to look at how the industry is changing and how not all vendors are created equal, there can be IoT without the security dumpster fire!Speaker: Brian BourneTopic: ShmooCon 2019 - Moose, Hackers, Security, More MooseFor the 15th time, the Shmoo group promised less moose than ever and while failing on that front, delivered more great content than ever. Check out https://shmoocon.org for complete event details and #shmoocon on Twitter for a view of some of the shenanigans.I attended many talks. I took notes at 16 of them and that doesn't include lobby or bar talks. I'll do my best to distill the key lessons you need to know and can take back and action. Incident response, machine learning, IoT, DuckDuckGo, IPv6, Office365 and behind the enemy lines of a nation state surveillance program… so many interesting lessons to share.If you were also at ShmooCon, please email me and you can perhaps also share a lesson or two that you learned. Email brian@blackarts.ca.
