Cork|Sec 160

Running since June 2013, every month we have 1-2 talks focused on Security or Technology - followed by socialising with like minded people

• 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 can be found the "Past Events" section.
• 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 Platinum Sponsor TrendAI, Gold Sponsor CyberSkills , as well as our Silver and 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: The Identity Crisis: Why Access Management Matters More Than Ever by Hansa Maheshwari
As organisations become increasingly cloud-based and interconnected, identity has become a critical part of the security perimeter. This talk provides an accessible introduction to Identity and Access Management, exploring authentication, authorisation, least privilege, the access lifecycle, and Zero Trust, while also touching on emerging challenges such as machine identities.

TALK 2: Confidential Computing by Nigel Douglas
You might already be familiar with industry terms such as encryption in-transit and encryption at-rest. What about encryption in-use? Confidential computing does just that. It's a cloud computing technology that specifically protects data during processing. Exclusive control of encryption keys delivers stronger end-to-end data security in the cloud. Confidential computing continues to redefine how critical infrastructure isolates sensitive data. This is achieved within a protected CPU enclave during processing. The enclave's contents, which include the data being processed and the techniques used, are accessible only to authorised programatic codes. They're invisible and unknowable to anything or anyone else, including the cloud provider. As company leaders increasingly rely on public and hybrid cloud services, data privacy in the cloud is imperative. The primary goal of my talk is to highlight how confidential computing is providing greater assurances to security leaders that their data in the cloud is actually protected and confidential, as we continue to move more of our sensitive data and computing workloads to public cloud services.
