Presented at BSidesLV 2019, Aug. 6, 2019, 11:30 a.m. (25 minutes)

Our dependence on connected technology is STILL growing faster than our ability to safeguard ourselves - security failures impact human life and public safety. This talk gives an overview of what's changed in the past year, introduces I Am The Cavalry to those unfamiliar with the initiative, and sets up the next two days of talks in this track and in Public Ground.
