On Wednesday 22nd March IET Surrey members and non-members learned how to hack a bank! Not literally but rather the methods and technology cyber criminals use to attack largely financial institutions.
In front of a packed lecture theatre at the University of Surrey in Guildford, presenters David Cash and Julian Storr - senior consultants with the NCC Group - explained how with often comparative ease cyber criminals can launch controlled attacks on an organisation. This may be from the first phishing email to the complete compromise of an IT infrastructure. Julian's and David's talk highlighted the ever increasing need for technical security controls and awareness and the need to continually review monitoring solutions.
Feedback from the audience has been positive, and indication of the interest shown was the large number of people who remained after the question and answer session.
