In early December, the Awen Collective team descended on Black Hat Europe 2019 at ExCeL London!
Our CEO and CTO, Daniel and Jules, and our developers Jamie, Seren and Lara were on hand at the Tech Nation Cyber Pavilion to distribute both knowledge about the excellent cyber security software solutions we provide to operators of industrial control systems, and also high quality welsh cakes to match!
Alongside us were both representatives from Tech Nation Cyber, and fellow Cyber 1.0 alumni companies, Skurio and Keepnet Labs.
We had some great conversations with operators of vital industrial control systems who were interested in our software, with investors interested in the growing demand for industrial cyber solutions, and with fellow cyber security professionals, interested in sharing knowledge on cutting edge solutions. Oh, and some lovely people who just really liked Welsh cakes!
We also took the opportunity to see what other great cyber solutions were being exhibited at Black Hat, and attend some very interesting briefings. A highlight was a presentation on exploiting vulnerabilities in a Siemens S7 PLC, one of the most common devices used within industrial control environments.
We’d like to thank Tech Nation for inviting us to exhibit on their stand, and to the organisers of Black Hat Europe for putting on such a great event.
