Location: Track 2

Let’s face it, technology is moving along, almost too quickly. The next big thing is automation. Automation is expected to change the way the modern world works. We see changes happening around us; driverless vehicles, banking systems, healthcare systems, and now fast food is being automated. Sadly, many of these industries are poorly prepared for the challenges that lay ahead for them. In the end, the cat and mouse game of security and anti-security will continue. This talk will focus on the changing world and how those designing and implementing automated systems will need to adapt. Critical flaws will be found, but preparation will be the key to success and in some situations can mean the difference between life and death. ()
