OWASP Coimbatore Online Workshop

While cybersecurity focuses on enterprise IT, cloud infrastructure, and data breaches, many systems critical to human survival remain dangerously under-protected. This talk explores cyber risks in agriculture technology, satellite systems, medical devices, physical security, and climate-monitoring networks.
We’ll analyze real-world incidents, why these sectors are often ignored, and the cascading impact of attacks on precision farming equipment, medical IoT devices, environmental sensors, and access-control systems. We’ll also touch on an unsettling question: can humans themselves become hacking machines?
These forgotten systems represent critical attack surfaces with consequences far beyond traditional cybersecurity affecting food security, healthcare delivery, disaster response, and infrastructure stability.
Bonus: Learn practical techniques to find and responsibly report your first CVE in open-source systems, and walk away with actionable skills to strengthen your security portfolio while contributing to a safer digital world.
