Track: Bring It On!

<p>As it becomes more mainstream for Humans to change themselves using technology, we are creating a new vulnerability landscape which exposes ourselves to old and new forms of attacks. This talk examines how we are making ourselves in to "New Humans" by going over both real-world and futurist trends (medical implants, bio-engineering, health-care technology, etc). We then explore the intersection of the cyborg trend with hacking and computer security. This talk aims to build a framework for understanding cyborg information security and examines the next generation of socialengineering. If we are all going to end up with mechanical hearts, cybernetics eyes, memory chips and tattoo e-ink we may as well figure out how to do it securely.</p>
