It’s that time of the year when IRISSCON<\/a>\u2014the biggest security conference in Ireland, in my humble opinion\u2014springs into life with a great collection of talks and Capture the Flag events. Held on November 23 in Dublin, there will be a strong focus on working in Infosec this year, alongside some of the problems faced by industry practitioners. For my part, I’ll be giving a retooled run-through of my talk\u00a0Makhra Ni Orroz<\/a>, which received a great response at SteelCon. I’m looking forward to seeing how it goes down with a new audience!<\/p>\n

Elsewhere at IRISSCON, the theme of breaking into Infosec via non-traditional routes is prominent\u2014and this has been a hot topic this year, thanks to Equifax and music degrees<\/a>. With that in mind, “Getting into the infosec industry from different directions,” by Lee Munson and Thom Langford will be a must watch. There’s a huge range of people working in Infosec with no technology qualifications (myself included), and presentations like this are a great way to explain why and how there are so many diverse skill sets on offer.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, we have “Would the real imposter please stand up?” by Dr. Jessica Barker, which looks at the very real problem of “Imposter Syndrome<\/a>” suffered by those working in security fields\u2014something I suspect may have been exacerbated as a direct result of the explosion of angry shouting related to non-tech qualifications.<\/p>\n

In another handy talk for those in the Infosec field, we have “Three security professionals walk into a bar” by Javvad Malik, which will show you how to make yourself a more attractive proposition for both your 0rg and the industry in general. A little self improvement goes a long way!<\/p>\n

Quentyn Taylor will add further insight into the daily dealings of a CISO with “The sights, the sounds, the smells of a hard working CISO on the road.” Last but not least, FreakyClown will be giving a deep dive into the world of social engineering and weaknesses in physical and digital security with the wonderfully titled “How I rob banks.”<\/p>\n

If you haven’t been to a security conference before, or even if you’re a seasoned hand on the conference circuit, this is definitely one of the best value events you can attend, so please come along and say hello!<\/p>\n
