Exploiting the Physical Plane:
|
Abstract
The importance of physical security is often understated, even though it forms an integral component of a comprehensive security strategy. This presentation aims to bridge this gap by shedding light on physical intrusion techniques and tools used by red teams, and how these can be mitigated to uplift an organization's security posture. This talk aims to cover at a high level the various techniques used by red teams to test and improve an organization's physical security measures. I will cover a range of topics from lock picking, door bypass, access control system hacking, and social engineering. In addition, the session will explore the tools used to facilitate these intrusions, providing an insight into a red team operator's toolkit.
