Hackers are using firmware implants and backdoors to compromise enterprise security with attacks that are stealthy and persistent. It’s time for information security specialists to learn how to attack and defend enterprise infrastructure. John will provide a preview of his upcoming presentation at InfoSec World where he will demonstrate attacks on firmware that are invisible to traditional security platforms, and show how to detect and defend against them.
John has extensive history in hardware and firmware threats from experience at Intel and the United States government. At Intel he served as the Director of Advanced Threat Research, Platform Armoring and Resiliency, PSIRT, and was a CHIPSEC maintainer. Prior to this, he was Technical Team Lead for Specialized Platforms for the US government.
