(50 minutes).
Bryson has a particularly entertaining style that encourages audience participation, so be prepared to be a part of the presentation! He will teach participants about the IOT threat landscape (what have we seen) and common oversights made in the development, configuration, and deployment of IoT devices. And, while IOT may not be interesting itself as an end target (changing the temperature on a random Nest thermostat isn’t going to get a hacker out of bed), it’s easy to build an automated campaign at scale which can access operational systems and sensitive data, ie - steal interesting things! He will demonstrate this with a walkthrough hack and provide an open-sourced lab that participants can replicate on their own.
