Speaker: Bill Graydon
Topic: Hands on with Physical Security: Overview of Recon Techniques and Defence
You've heard of burglars "casing the joint" before making entry - but how do they do it, how do they choose what to target, and how to make the entry? In this talk, you'll learn all of this from a professional (ethical) burglar - we'll also make use of the amazing space the talk is hosted in to let you observe first hand all of the little details that can give away critical information about a facility's layout, security and defences. This talk will cover:
How to deduce the floorplan of a building from observing its external envelope, which is the result of years of experience in penetration testing and research into thousands of architectural plans for a wide range of facilities.
Loads of techniques for situational awareness and intelligence gathering when navigating through a building.
Implications for physical red teams, and for facilities to harden against these techniques being used by bad actors, including using Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED).
This talk focusses on low-tech techniques, most involving only the human senses: you'll come away from the talk with a new perspective on the built world around you, and will be able to apply it in all urban aspects of your day to day life.
Bill is a founder & principal at GGR Security, where he breaks into buildings professionally to identify weaknesses in their physical security. He's passionate about advancing the security field through research, teaching numerous courses, giving talks, and running the Physical Security Village at various cons. He's received various degrees in engineering, security, and forensics and comes from a broad background of experience in physical and cyber security, anti-money laundering, and infectious disease detection.
Speaker: Paul Wilson
Topic: Deciphering ZTNA, SASE, and SSE Marketspeak, Plus a Transformation Journey
It seems that every security vendor has a "Zero Trust" story, whether it's Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), or something else. But, what do these terms mean? What things are important to look for? What's relevant to you and your needs? Most networks follow a common, well understood security approach consisting of a UTM or assembly of devices at the perimeter. This is how things have been done for a decade or more. It's tried, and true. However, there are always new trends, and in Internet and Access security a few specific “marketspeak” terms seem to be everywhere.
In this talk, Paul will help you understand what these terms mean, get past the marketing hype and understand the technology. He will also walk you through a recent implementation he's been a part of with a client that made a complete transformation from legacy WAN with DC to fully Cloud and Cloud Security. Tips, tricks, and practical explanations will be part of this vendor-neutral presentation.
Paul Wilson is the owner of CISOmojo Inc, a Toronto-based consulting firm, and has 7+ years of SASE, SSE, and ZTNA industry experience, both in Pre-Sales Engineering and Implementation, with 35+ years overall in Telecoms, Internet, and Security. You can reach him at paul@cisomojo.com
