Rick Forno speaks @ Schmoocon '15

CSEE’s Dr. Rick Forno was a panelist for Schmoocon 2015’s closing plenary session on January 18 in Washington, DC. The session, entitled “Get Off My Lawn: Examining Change through the Eyes of The Old Guard” brought together four longtime security practitioners to discuss in a free-flowing (if not somewhat curmudgeonly) manner the state of Internet security over the years while fielding audience questions and avoiding Schmooballs tossed their way.

Joining Rick on the panel were Carole Fennelly (independent New York area security consultant), Ben Laurie (Google), and Space Rogue (L0pht). Schmoocon founder Bruce Potter moderated the session.

ShmooCon is an annual east coast hacker convention held in Washington, DC offering three days of demonstrating technology exploitation, inventive software and hardware solutions, and hosting open, unfiltered discussions of critical information security issues. Tickets to the conference routinely sell out within seconds, and the acceptance rate for proposals traditionally hovers around 20%.
