07-12, 17:00–19:00 (US/Eastern), Physical Security Village
If you have an interest in physical security and want to help your employer secure their buildings, this workshop is for you! Common flaws in locks, alarms, surveillance systems, and employee training will be covered. You’ll learn how to test for them and suggest remediations to company leadership. This is a very hands-on workshop; exhibits from the Physical Security Village will be used to let you try your hand at lock bypass, alarm bypass, forcible entry, social engineering, and other common vulnerabilities! This workshop is aimed at employees whose primary job function does not involve physical security. This often includes cybersecurity teams though, so lots of analogies to infosec concepts will be made. The workshop will be accessible to everyone.
