DEFCON 23 Concludes: Who has the Advantage - Hackers or their Targets?

DEFCON 23 concluded last week in Las Vegas amid a backdrop of major hacking attacks against both the US government and private sector businesses. Once again the DEF CON NOC worked hard to provide you the internetz via WiFi access throughout the Paris & Bally’s convention centers.

There are two official ESSIDs to access the conference network: the encrypted and cert/user-based authentication (DefCon) and the unencrypted free-for-all one (DefCon-Open): choose wisely. Most of the devices these days should are 802.1x compatible, despite the corks some of them still present without an MDM solution behind it, and no one really want your managed devices. If you attended DEFCON 23 let us know your thoughts here at the Cloud and Cyber Security Center.
