LASCON 2015

By 2019, there will be half a billion wearable devices in use every single day. These wearable devices track everything from your heart rate, number of steps taken, distance you have traveled, GPS locations, insulin levels, etc. Wearable security encompasses many facets of security, and includes the security of other devices and communication protocols. Device security, application security, and network security all play an important role in the overall security posture of said wearables. Part of being a security researcher is understanding how each of the security controls work, understanding potential threats to the wearables, and how the wearable devices interact with other connected devices. This talk will help listeners understand the threat landscape of wearable devices and what to think about when developing applications for wearables.
