Join us for an enlightening evening at Surrey Cyber Security Cluster, featuring two captivating presentations that delve into the pressing issues of cybersecurity in today’s technology-driven world.
First Presentation: Insights into Offline PoS Security with Professor Ioana Boureanu
Explore the intricacies of PoS systems in offline mode with Professor Ioana Boureanu. This presentation will unveil her latest research on the Square Terminal, conducted using the EU/UK firmware. Discover how simple technical adjustments can breach standard security measures, such as PINs and fingerprints, in this system widely disconnected from the Internet and payment networks during transactions. The talk will also touch on vulnerabilities within major payment networks and SquareUp’s response to these issues. If conditions permit, a live demonstration of these security gaps will be conducted.
Second Presentation: The Amusing Yet Alarming World of Smart Home Security with Anas Amer
Step into the world of smart homes – an ecosystem where everyday appliances offer more than just their primary functions. As our fridges, doorbells, and toasters become increasingly intelligent, they also expose us to new cybersecurity risks. This presentation will take you on a journey through the amusing, yet alarming aspects of smart home security. It’s a rollercoaster ride through the IoT landscape, highlighting how our homes have become smarter yet potentially less secure. Expect engaging insights into the unforeseen consequences of this digital revolution, with a focus on keeping your cyber doors firmly shut.
This event promises to be both informative and engaging, perfect for IT network security professionals and enthusiasts keen on understanding the evolving landscape of cybersecurity in everyday technology.
