… which was, as in the years before, an awesome event.
Great talks, great people, great fun.
Bruce Potter gave a keynote
which did exactly what a good keynote should do: make the audience think and
entertain it at the same time.
[Those readers familiar with ERNW’s security model will certainly notice that
we do not necessarily agree with everything he said. We still think that – in
particular in times where infosec resources are scarce anyway – putting your
bets on prevention provides a better cost/[security] benefit ratio than going
for extensive detection capabilities.
Fix the doors first, then think about installing a CCTV.
Still, human nature tends to exchange “good security with low visibility” for
“poor security with potentially good visibility” quite easily… as can be noted
every day in many environments.]
Sergey provided an excellent & insightful
piece on security in times of
very large numbers of embedded devices (like smart meters).
And, last but not least: football is coming home. The
“ERNW Troopers” team consisting
of Rene Graf and Michael “Bob the Builder” Schaefer managed to win the event’s
PacketWars contest. Congrats! Great job, guys.
have a great weekend everybody,
Enno
