Topic: ISO 27001:2022 – Implementation Over Documentation ISO 27001:2022 isn’t just a set of policies to file away—it’s a framework for transforming how organizations approach information security. In this talk, Setareh will challenge the conventional thinking that ISO 27001 is all about paperwork and instead focus on its true value in real-world application. Using the example of a simple online shop, Setareh will demonstrate how ISO 27001 controls shall be implemented and how it can strengthen the security posture of any business.

How We Turned a Secure POS Device into a Surveillance and PIN Stealing Tool Card machines are trusted across the fintech industry to handle secure transactions, but how secure are they really? In this live presentation, Ali from Cyber Alchemy walks through a real-world security assessment of a widely deployed point-of-sale (POS) terminal. What appeared to be a locked-down device was fully compromised using simple techniques: bypassing kiosk mode, leveraging default credentials, deploying malware, stealing PIN numbers and activating onboard surveillance features.
