This will be a 30 min excerpt of our talk at the main conference, focusing on the technical details of the actual exploitation of monitoring solutions and the impact this may have for Telco networks.
With over 13 years of professional IT security consulting experience, you can safely say he is an old timer in the fast moving field of IT security. Daniel worked as a security consultant for companies such as Secureware, TUEV Rheinland Secure iT, n.runs and Context Information Security, and for over 6 years now as a freelance consultant. He supported international clients like Microsoft USA, SAP, Deutsche Telekom and Deutsche Bank and also governmental clients with high-security demands in securing their applications and networks. He is a firm believer that the building blocks of security are a robust design and sound planning as opposed to firewall appliances, antivirus or compliance reports. His passion to prove that even small or presumably insignificant risks may result in “full root access pwnage” made him passionate about how to optimize security solutions. He also does not believe in the mystical power of security certifications. Daniel loves beer, Scotland, beer in Scotland and travelling. It is said that he knows every internet meme out there.
Christian Sielaff works since many years in the Telco world. Previously he was part of an operational department and has designed and maintained secure access solutions. So he also knows the other side of the console. As part of the Group Information Security of Deutsche Telekom, he focuses on Information Security in the last few years. In the team of Network and Data Center Security he is specialized on the management network security aspects.
