Representing DeepRecce - Conferences list 2016

IRISSCERT Cyber Crime Conference – November 2016

irisscertIRISS is Ireland’s CERT team and provides a range of services to its clients to help them defend and secure their networks and data. This annual conference is now recognised as Ireland’s premier Cyber Security event where experts on various aspects of cyber security share their thoughts and experiences. DeepRecce was represented by Dr. Grigorios Fragkos who delivered a really forward looking talk on Cyber Resilience with the interesting title: All aboard, next stop; Cyber Resilience. The talk familiarised the audience with what Cyber Resilience really is, how a holistic approach to cybersecurity problems is better to protect us from cyber threats, and last but not least, how Cyber Resilience will change once and for all the way cybersecurity is discussed in the boardroom, as it will provide companies the means to stay within budget.

BruCON – October 2016

finalgamingdefOne of the most important security conferences for ethical hackers in Europe is BruCON. The event started with security training sessions that lasted for three days and concluded with a two-day conference composed of outstanding security presentations and workshops. It comes without surprise to see so many people arriving to the event from all over Europe to join an interesting atmosphere for open discussions related to critical InfoSec issues, privacy, information technology and its cultural/technical implications on society. DeepRecce was represented at the conference by Dr. Grigorios Fragkos who was invited to present his talk on Point of Sales (POS) and more specifically on Point of Interaction (POI) devices and Virtual Terminals. Even though the research started almost three and a half years ago, the findings were never made publicly available, and have only been presented behind closed doors and to by invitation only events/conferences, in order to be given enough time to acquirers, payment processors and affected parties to remediate the issues disclosed.

As Cyber Security becomes a more and more boardroom discussion it was a pleasure to see the department of MoJ Digital & Technology at the event who also designed a fun yet challenging Capture the Flag. Information Security professionals from all industries, mostly interested in cybersecurity and ethical hacking, had the change to attend a series of interesting talks and workshops related to security from speakers around the world.

Security BSides Manchester – August 2016

Information Security Professionals, experts, researchers, ethical hackers and InfoSec enthusiasts come together to discuss the next “big thing”, not only to ethical hacking, but instead the conference is open to a wide range of subjects related to security such as incident response, IoT security, computer forensics, security standards and of course compliance. DeepRecce was represented at the event by Dr. Grigorios Fragkos with a talk about “Accessing the personal details of most of the InfoSec professionals & the Responsible Disclosure process”. Due to the sensitive nature of the contents, the talk was not allowed to be recorded.
