Adam Bromiley and Sam Thom will be presenting: Do you even bench, bro?
In a world of AI slop and next-gen nonsense, how do you know the thing you bought is actually secure? How do you firewall the unfirewall-able?
This is a love letter to bench testing and vulnerability research in an industry where transparency never trends. You’ll see intended functionality abused for firmware-level backdoors, controller logic swapped with segregation-busting implants, and why “secure” in OT just means “nobody looked too closely (yet)”.
In short: 2 basement gremlins, 1 crusty PLC, and unlimited Monster.
We are sponsoring the after-party at BSides OT UK, which is the first specialised BSides event in the UK. This community-driven event is aimed at both experienced and new OT security professionals, students, or anyone else with an interest in OT security.
