Talk Title: OWASP IoT Top 10 and Wi-Fi Security Best Practices and Attacks

In my presentation, I will explore the growing interconnectedness of devices has brought both convenience and risk, especially with the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT). In this session, we’ll start by exploring the OWASP IoT Top 10 vulnerabilities. From there, we’ll transition into Wi-Fi security, discussing the critical role Wi-Fi networks play. We’ll dive deeper into both personal and corporate Wi-Fi attacks and examine common threats. Finally, we’ll touch on securing Wi-Fi networks, with a brief focus on both home and enterprise environments. By the end of the session, attendees will have a comprehensive understanding of the attack vectors targeting IoT and Wi-Fi networks, along with practical insights for mitigating these risks.

We're always looking for presenters and topics for future meetings - contact Austin (austin.chamberlain@owasp.org) if you have an idea for a topic, or a presentation you'd like to make. That way, it won't always be Austin talking about what he's been working on recently.

The Auckland-area OWASP Meetup usually takes place on the third Tuesdays of March, May, July, September, and November. There is no Meetup in January, as our members enjoy their holidays.
