Dear Friends, A couple of cyber security experts from Brazil attended the recent DEFCON meet at Bengaluru, whose brief profiles are attached for your information. Their presentations at Bengaluru were the high light of the meet and were of a very high order. We requested them to come over to Chennai to address the Chennai members of the foundation and the student community here. The Computer Science and Engineering Dept of Anna University agreed to jointly organize a meet at short notice and the invite is annexed. All of you know the disasters that the global cyber threats can cause for the units using SCADA systems. The first possible cyber war attacks on our country will mostly be targeted on our power generation units, power distribution systems, water distribution systems, water purification systems, processing industries on variable factors of heat, flow, pressure, vibration, etc., continuous manufacturing industries like automobiles, components, oil drilling units, oil refineries, fertilizers, transport systems of air, rail, bus, sea etc., hospitals, telecom system operators, bank servers, etc, etc, Mr. Jan Seidl will focus on how exactly the enemy will be attacking us and the various precautionary steps to be taken by us to protect ourselves from such possible attacks. The presentation of Mr. Ewerson Guimaraes will be how servers will be targeted focusing on the various vulnerabilities that the attackers will look up and the measures to be taken for protecting the servers. He will take up citrix servers as an example as they are mostly used in India. This will be a golden opportunity to know the various intricacies that are not normally known much to the system users in various applications in India. The presentations will be very useful for all CTOS, CIOs, system administrators, Research scholars, academicians, engineers who are focused on vulnerability testing and penetration testing, IT audit teams, etc., I request that this opportunity may be fully availed by our IT teams to know about the threats and also know how to secure our infrastructure.
