*** free pizza - Dell Technologies have graciously offered to provide free pizza for the event*** We also have some OWASP swag (stickers, soft toys, etc.) up for grabs. Pizza arrives @ 18:00, talks commence 18:30.

We have two excellent talks for you this Tuesday, which will be held in the Dell / EMC offices in City Gate in Mahon.

We start with how security is managed and matures during the initial stages of a software startup and get an insight into one of Ireland's fastest growing software startups, and then, we delve into Industrial Control Systems, and how to build & hack your own!

We are delighted to have Dell EMC host this talk in their offices in Mahon. Dell are providing free pizza and drinks. Please RSVP to this meetup if you are attending.

Talk 1 - Security at a Startup

During this talk, Joe will discuss how security begins when building out a software startup. A primary objective for a startup is to get features and benefits into a product that organisations will purchase. While security is super important, it may not be the first item on the agenda at the start. So, Joe will explain how security is managed and treated at a startup.

Talk 2 - Industrial Control System Simulation: How to build your own DIY ICS platform.

Speaker - Thomas Roccia
Security Researcher, McAfee Advanced Threat Research.

Industrial Control Systems are at the heart of our factories; they are essentially a way of interacting between the digital and physical worlds, crossing the border between data and physical actions. For a decade, industrial threats have continued to be more violent and more impactful. Accessing an ICS device is not always an affordable solution but many researchers, students and cybersecurity professionals need this type of knowledge to understand the ICS threat.
In this presentation, we will talk about the Modbus protocol, one of the most used industrial protocols and see how we can build our own low-cost ICS platform for learning and awareness purposes.

We look forward to seeing you all there!
