Embedded Device Security: Protecting Your Network From Hidden Threats
- 7:00pm - 8:00pm

Paul Asadoorian will discuss an area of rapidly growing risk from embedded devices. As these devices become ubiquitous, the risks continue to grow. Embedded devices come into your network and appear in many different forms and fashions. What most do not realize is that they offer unique opportunities for attackers to do damage and gain access to your network, and most importantly your information. This talk will focus primarily on common embedded device vulnerabilities. Paul will stroll down memory lane and review some of the vulnerabilities that have been released for embedded devices, how we can use them to gain control of the device, the network, and more importantly the data traveling across it. Example devices will include printers, iPhones, Wireless Routers, and network-based cameras.
