When Doors Lie is a sharp look at how digital exploits are unlocking real-world access in ways most organisations never see coming.
Cybersecurity consultant John Kouroutzoglou unpacks major case studies, including:
• Hackers opening millions of hotel doors with a $300 keycard exploit (Saflok/Unsaflok)
• The Strava fitness app exposing secret military bases through public heatmaps
• A deepfake voice used to impersonate a CEO and steal $243,000 in a phone scam
• An AI-powered camera system that missed an actual robbery while flagging mannequins
• A Tapplock “smart” padlock that could be opened using just its Bluetooth address
With humour and insight, this talk delivers lessons on how cyber meets physical, how attackers think, and how to stop trusting “smart” systems without asking smart questions.
Key Session Takeaways:
• Able to identify the key vulnerabilities in traditional physical security systems.
• Ability to analyse real-life security breaches and apply the lessons learned to improve their organisation’s security posture.
• Understand how physical security systems must evolve by integrating with cybersecurity measures to mitigate emerging threats.
