IT Security Guru is to host its first in a series of webcasts on Wednesday 30th July, with a look at how vulnerabilities have not made the world come to an end.
Hosted by editor Dan Raywood, and joined by speakers Lewis Henderson, Conrad Constantine and “Spacerogue” Cris Thomas, we will discuss the key question of “If there are so many vulnerabilities, why isn’t the world on fire?”
With flaws having been revealed to be present in the US military’s missile system, while the first month of operation for XSSposed saw it receive 1,087 vulnerabilities on 692 vulnerable websites from 90 security researchers, and the open source communication protocol used by thousands of websites was vulnerable for a considerable period of time. So with so many vulnerabilities, why is the world not on fire?
Speaking on the webcast will be Lewis Henderson, an industrial controls and cyber risk researcher, who brings 15 years of experience of enterprise and Government-level advanced technical security solution knowledge from publishing a series of Management Guides that are geared towards promoting Cyber Risk to the C suite.
Also speaking is Conrad Constantine, formerly of AlienVault and the man who caught the RSA breach as it was happening. Over the past year Conrad has been coding full time on a project after spending 15 years on the front lines of defence work in telecom, medical and media corporations.
Finally we will also welcome Cris Thomas, technical manager at Tenable and a former member of the hacker collective L0pht. Chris was known as Spacerogue and his work included creating the Hacker News Network and The Whacked Mac Archives, which was the largest and the most popular Macintosh security website.
Join us at 3pm on Wednesday 30th July for a lively and humorous debate on the state of security when it comes to insecure applications and platforms, and help you realise both how to manage with vulnerabilities and fix what our speakers deem to be the most critical flaws first.
