Session description: Smart Building Red Teaming
In this talk, we will look at how red teamers test and break into the physical security of smart buildings. We’ll explain the main weak spots, like building automation systems, access controls, and connected devices, and show the tools and tricks used in real attacks. You’ll learn how attackers can sneak in, and what steps you can take to spot and stop these threats when physical and digital security overlap.
