Talks with live demonstrations for conferences, chapter meetings and internal events, and hands-on workshops for the teams who run access control every day.
Talk with live demo · 30–45 min. Most access cards in offices and data centers can be copied in seconds with a few hundred dollars of hardware. A live demonstration on demo cards, then what each card technology is actually exposed to, how to find out what is on your own walls, and what a migration to DESFire or Seos involves in practice.
Best for: Security, facilities and data center teams; general security audiences.
Talk · 25–40 min. When someone leaves, their identity account is disabled the same day. Their badge often is not. Where the handoff between HR, the identity provider and the access control system breaks, how to test it at the reader, and how to make physical access follow identity.
Best for: IAM, GRC and security operations teams.
Talk · 30–45 min. Access control panels, camera systems and building management systems are computers, often installed by someone who will never patch them. How they end up exposed, what an attacker on the network can do with them, and what to ask your integrator.
Best for: Cybersecurity audiences who have never looked at the physical security stack.
Talk · 30–45 min. GPU clusters concentrate enormous value in a few rooms, built and leased in months, with constant contractor and delivery traffic. Where the physical risk sits around AI infrastructure and model weights, from the loading dock to the drive that leaves in a box.
Best for: Data center, AI infrastructure and security leadership audiences.
Every talk can be shortened for a chapter meeting or delivered as a webinar. Demos use our own demo cards and readers, never an attendee’s badge.
A fixed fee per session, agreed in writing before we start, with travel at cost. Each workshop can run on its own or alongside an assessment of your site.
Your team learns to identify the card and reader technology on their own walls, test whether a leaver’s badge still works, spot tailgating and anti-passback gaps, and check cage and cabinet separation. Hands-on with demo equipment, and, where you authorize it in writing, with your own readers.
For compliance and GRC teams: what SOC 2 CC6.4 and ISO 27001 Annex A.7 actually require, how to test a physical control rather than document it, and what evidence holds up when an auditor asks.
Tailgating, pretexting and impersonation from the attacker’s side, and simple scripts for saying no politely. Built around your building’s actual entrances and visitor process.
Physical security specialist with enterprise security audit experience at Goldman Sachs and an MS in Cybersecurity from New York University. His work sits where physical access control and cybersecurity meet: credentials, access control systems and the people who get through the door.
