*Chris Pritchard - how to bypass million dollar cyber security solutions (War stories of a social engineer)*

Chris is an Adversial Engineer (aka penetration tester) at Lares which involves him acting and thinking like a genuine attacker to compromise client networks. Chris’ skill set also includes Social Engineering, and he has successfully gained access into CNI, Airports and Casinos, which are regarded are some of the most secure facilities in the industry.

Chris has worked in a range of industries, most notable of which are Critical National Infrastructure (CNI), and leading edge design and manufacturing (Dyson). Doing so has given Chris a very varied array of knowledge, from penetration testing robot vacuum cleaners, to designing and testing secure ICS/OT networks.

During Chris’ time at Dyson, he was involved in developing the global security team and performing internal penetration testing. Chris was also heavily involved with securing the design of Dyson’s current and future internet connected appliances, and corresponding smartphone applications.

*Konrad Bachusz: Intro to AI*

Konrad has experience in data engineering, analytics and data science. He currently works as a Senior Data Engineer at a global consulting boutique called Credera."

His talk will be a high-level introduction to the field for people with no experience with it with tips on how to get started.
