Physical Security Architecture and Design
With Keith Pachulski
Physical security designs often assume somebody is coming to help. What happens when there is no response force—or the response force is the threat? Explore how physical controls can buy time when the door is the defense you control.

4 hours of workshop time
Lunch break: noon–1:00 PM
Keith brings about 25 years of experience across offensive cybersecurity, physical security architecture, and federal program support. He founded Red Cell Security and works across the boundary between the fence and the firewall.
