Description

Access Controls are arguably the most important security controls that any company (small, large) and individual should pay close attention to. If someone has the “keys to your house”, there is usually nothing standing in their way of coming in. During this talk we will discuss how to implement access controls in your personal life and professional career, as well as compensating controls that could reduce the risk of just any person walking into your house unannounced and uninvited!
