I delivered a short seminar about some of the current events and trends in information security. Basically, I divided my presentation into 3 parts:

1. 2014 Vulnerabilities – This part talks about 2 of the biggest bugs discovered in 2014 namely Heartbleed and Shellshock. Description for each vulnerability is briefly discussed.

2. Fiction to Non-Fiction – This part talks about the books written by Daniel Suarez namely “Daemon,” “Freedom” and “Kill Decision.” I related the technologies used by Daniel Suarez in what we have right now. In conclusion, these technologies he mentioned are existing.

3. Day-to-day issues in the industry – This last part talks about the security challenges faced by the industry such as cloud computing, bring your own device (BYOD), incident response and regulations.
