Abstracts:

Prevention vs Detection, is one better? By Taz Wake

A lot of effort is put into building and configuring preventative controls for our IT environments. The idea makes sense, we want to prevent attacks. However, is this always the best option?

    Cyber Security is Great. What about Physical Security? By Nick Mitropoulos

    Cyber Security focuses on several methods that attackers use to infiltrate networks and obtain access to machines, often leveraging sophisticated attack vectors. However, even the most fortified network can be brought down by a physical attack. This talk aims to cover numerous angles of physical security and go over related technologies that can be applied today to protect our physical infrastructure from determined attackers. This can be anything from a small home office to corporate infrastructure with hundreds of devices. Although some of these techniques appear as science fiction, they're actually applicable in our current environments.

    You came with that plan? You’re braver than I thought! By Steve Armstrong

    I’ve worked in many different organisations, as a consultant or permanent Incident Response team leader and Incident Manager and I can assure you that no plan has ever come even close to standing up to a major/critical or organisational-extinction grade incident. In this talk we’ll look at some of the key holes in the plans and how you can tackle them when you get back to work. We’ll also focus on the golden hour problems and the transition to the big team approach that is needed for critical incidents.
