How the Smart-City becomes Stupid

In their talk, Vladimir Dashchenko and Denis Makrushin from Kaspersky Lab will present an exciting overview of the current state of security in some parts of a modern city. This will include a look at smart terminals for payments and e-gov services, booking terminals in airports and also city road infrastructure, including speed cameras, traffic meters and network equipment.  Even in not so smart cities, those devices are already processing gigabytes of citizens’ data and unfortunately are not always secure enough to defend against third-parties set on manipulating them. Along with description of vulnerabilities, the speakers will provide some suggestions on possible security measures that could eliminate those issues, and make modern cities safer from a cyber perspective.

This schedule may change over the course of the week, but these are the places where you’ll definitely be able to find us. Be sure to say hi and remember, just say NO to free Wi-Fi at the event. See you in Vegas.
