Cork|Sec 127

Running since June 2013, every month we have 1-2 talks focused on Security or Technology - followed by socialising with like minded people – and you can find out exactly what to expect about the night and the venue on the What We're About 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.

CorkSec is made possible through generous sponsorship from our Silver Sponsors Trend Micro and CyberSkills , as well as our Bronze Sponsors featured prominently on the night.

Our talks come from our community so if you have an idea for a topic (anything for 10-60 minutes) please email us at **DefconCork@gmail.com** . Whether you are an experienced presenter, or presenting for your first time - CorkSec is a great venue for it - and we are happy to help you prepare and mentor you.

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

TALK 1: Steam Deck and Cybersecurity (What You Should Have Got Your Kids for Christmas) by Andrew Kenneally
For this Talk, Andrew will be showing off the Steam Deck from Valve and how it can be turned into an ICT and Cybersecurity centric learning tool through play and experimentation for children and adults alike. The content of this talk is formed with the consultation provided of an early years educator and play therapist in training.

TALK 2: Home Automation made easy with Home Assistant! (I may be lying) by Maurice Cronin
I'm lazy, so lazy I've spend hour after hour automating things so I never have to flip that particular switch again.
So what have I learned over those hours? Well I learned I should have done a lot more research before I started, but that's about normal. So come and join us on Tuesday and I'll demonstrate how to setup Home Assistant and add, control and automate multiple devices around the home, all without sending any data to Google/Amazon/Apple!
