Abstract:
This talk explores many aspects of physical security, including why it is important, how physical security is assessed professionally, and some professional opinions on what comprises “good” physical security. Then, I will briefly touch on physical penetration testing and what usually comprises a physical penetration test. I will also relate a few fun war stories from some personal experiences while performing these kinds of tests.
About the Speaker:
