Keynote: Control Systems - The New Target

[view session info]

The self described "Prince of security weirdness", Kevin claims mass pollution of Google and says that he's not the vet or the police captain, and definitely not the dead guy. He holds a Ph. D and a Master's degree in Information Security from the University of London, where he is also an Associate Lecturer on the topic of Internet Security.

He has one book in print, with another on the way. He speaks often - some might say too often - on the subjects of security and technology, and is a sought-after pundit on these and other topics. Kevin holds CISSP status and is a member in good standing of the IEEE and ISC2.

Kevin has worked in the Internet field for many years, with side trips into the weird worlds of, among many others, Voice over IP, ethical hacking, network architecture and audit mitigation. With two patents to his name for developments in VoIP security, he seems unable to concentrate on anything for too long unless it's security related. He's co-authored several books on topics related to the Internet, forensics and the admissibility of digital evidence.
Working in both customer-facing and development roles, Kevin has served as the Chief Security Officer for a major fitness chain and a major outdoor retailer, and acts as the Interim Chief Security Officer for several other companies. From managing PCI and other audit woes to designing and implementing a security strategy, Kevin has amassed a formidable set of credentials for someone who claims he still doesn't know what he wants to do when he grows up. His current main assignment is as the Security Scientist for AT&T Laboratories.
