The Art Of The Breach

Presented at DeepSec 2020 „The Masquerade“, Unknown date/time (Unknown duration)

The Art of the Breach is designed to be a journey for anyone interested in physical security. Robert takes the audience on a trip from a public sidewalk outside a target organization all the way to the executive filing cabinet in the President's office. During this adventure, Robert discusses everything from successful reconnaissance prior to the breach to ensuring an easy exit afterwards. Robert spends time at each step to go over the various options for moving forward. Some of these options are easy and straight forward while others require preparation and planning. Since every business is different, Robert brings in many different obstacles a physical penetration tester might face. This includes steel doors, cameras, armed guards and aware employees. While many physical security talks focus strictly on the information security aspect of breaching, Robert will combine this with techniques used by first responders to enter a building. If you want to up your game on physical security or at the very least gain some ideas for improving your company's defenses, this talk is for you.
