Cork|Sec 64

Running for nearly 5 years, every month we have 2 talks focused on Security or Technology - followed by socialising with like minded people – and you can find out exactly what to expect on the About Us section of our Meetup page. Past talk details are on our wiki on http://corksec.com/. All people with any sort of an interest or level of knowledge in Security, Hacking and Emerging Technology are more than welcome to attend and feel free to bring like minded colleagues and friends.

Doors open at 19:00 with talks starting at 19:15.

TALK 1: Learning through doing: CTF Challenges: OSINT Edition - Bob McArdle
Capture the Flag challenges (CTF) are a fantastic way to learn and test out new skills, and are often free, or even entirely online. In this talk I'll give you an example of that by looking at an OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) CTF puzzle, and stepping through how to solve it - and the tools and techniques you would learn along the way. I'll also include tips on where you too can find your own CTF puzzles to try out - safe in the comfort of your own home :)

TALK 2: Security and End User Readiness in large scale technology projects - Robbie Lambert
This talk covers the necessary activities that need to be carried out ahead of the deployment of new systems and applications in large organisations, to ensure that they work and are secure. It will cover the specific technical activities that need to be done, including Secure Network Connectivity, Client hardware/software readiness, User Access, Client Software deployment and Security Testing."
