In information security today we face many evolving threats. During this discussion we will cover how both ransomware and the Internet of Things fit in today’s threat landscape. First, we’ll look at the rise of ransomware, the vectors used by a lot of today’s ransomware, and how you can use Metasploit to safely test for them in your environment. Next, we’ll discuss how to execute an effective testing process for IoT security, as well as the implications of having interconnected components in the IoT ecosystem. A focused effort will be critical if we plan to successfully secure our new IoT-driven world, and developing sound methods for identification and mitigation of security vulnerabilities within IoT products will be essential. Join us to learn more.
