Description:
Often overshadowed in a world of remote cyber attacks, physical security breaches can be just as devastating to an organization. This session will discuss how “pen testing” tools such as the WiFi Pineapple, Flipper Zero, O.MG Cables, Skimmers, and lock-picking can be used to gain entry to restricted areas and systems. See some demonstrations of hacking tools in action and learn how to use these tools for good to better secure your organizations.
