Digital Forensics

GCHQ

Kasperky Labs

Presentation 
A previous presentation from Kaspesky was as follows:

"Today's viruses, worms and Trojans are no longer isolated acts of hi-tech vandalism. In recent years we've seen the increasing criminalization of the Internet, with malicious code being tailored specifically for the criminal underground to make money illegally. So-called 'bot' networks made up of Trojans are used to steal confidential data, to launch Distributed-Denial-of-Service attacks, to distribute spam or to download still more malicious code from remote web sites. With this has also come a shift in tactics from the writers of malicious code. We've seen a decline in the number of global epidemics as malware authors move away from the use of mass attacks on victims worldwide to low-key, localised attacks that make fewer headlines but more money."
This excerpt allows an insight into the type of talk that Kaspesky will give.

Practical
Last years workshop from Kaspersky was extremely interesting where anyone who attended will tell you that everyone learnt allot.

Physical Security

Presentation
Physical security is a vital part of every business and is treated as a matter of course. However, statistics show that security breaches happen frequently and appropriate physical measures are often not in place. This talk will examine physical security controls according to ISO 27002 and will describe common attacks on typical measures implemented in companies. The audience will get an overview of common physical pitfalls and how to prevent them. In addition, the participants will be introduced to the art of lock picking and manipulation and will get the chance to try it out themselves.

Practical
During this longer session participants will get the opportunity to further lock picking for themselves after a specialized talk and guidance from Thomas Hackner.
