His practical experience of industrial environments and cyber security make for a capable and highly competent OT cyber engineer. Paul is a regular speaker at national and international technology and security events such as Defcon and the (ISC)2 Security Conference, highlighting key risks with the internet of things, automotive and maritime.

Talk Title:  What Have We Learned From Lessons From The Past

Summary of Talk: 

As we become more and more familiar with security risks, common sense suggests that we apply lessons learned from past mistakes....but this is not always the case.

We still regularly find basic security failings in operational technology, maritime, and automotive environments. This is further compounded with the application of IoT technologies in ever more innovative ways.

In this presentation we will demonstrate the vulnerabilities found in cars, ships, oil rigs, and toys which show that perhaps we haven't learned many lessons from the past at all.
