Come Bring all your Drones to the Yard

Presented at Hackfest 2016, Nov. 4, 2016, 4:30 p.m. (Unknown duration).

The Suffolk County Correctional Facility in Riverhead, New York now has the ability to detect unauthorized UAV's that approach and/or breach its secured perimeter. This first-in-the U.S. technology initiative has been implemented and is operated by the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office. This solution was designed to prevent the smuggling of mobile phones, drugs, weapons and other contraband into the jail.

Throughout this project - from the vision, putting together the right team, technical requirements, negotiations, design, implementation and testing - there were many challenges to overcome. We'll discuss this project from start to finish, other solutions available today as well new bleeding edge technologies that all aim to combat Criminal Drone Operators.


Presenters:

  • Blake Cornell
    Blake Cornell, Chief Technical Officer, Integris Security, New York USA, has been an IT innovator and developer with over a decade of experience within software and security. He has consulted Fortune 500 companies and various law enforcement agencies with hopes of enacting solutions to ease every day issues. Mr. Cornell had previously presented a topic at an FBI cyber security conference detailing the threats of domestic terrorist cell's using Unmanned Aerial Improvised Explosive Devices (UAIED) within the US mainland. Thirteen months later Rezwan Ferdaus was arrested, charged and eventually sentenced to a 17 year prison sentence for attempting to execute what Mr. Cornell had outlined during his presentation. As well, Cornell has created several unique technologies including remotely controlled full disk encryption appliance platform, intrusion detection and prevention, three-factor authentication solutions, OSINT Acitve Denial System (internal use blacklist) and more. In 2003, Mr. Cornell designed, wrote and implemented a semi-passive network tracking technology which revealed the identify of the IT administrator hosting a majority Islamic Terrorism websites at that time.
