Information Security Engineering: Trust No One (Not Even Your Email Filter)

This talk by Senior Information Security Engineer, Leela Ross, provides a practical, engineering focused overview of information security.

This session offers a practical, engineering-focused perspective on information security, designed for those looking to move beyond the standard technical checklist. Rather than focusing solely on tools and compliance, the session will delve into how systems thinking, human behaviour, and cross-functional collaboration are critical to building secure and resilient systems in real-world environments.

A key component of the session will involve a detailed real-world case study focused on securing international travel—illustrating how theory translates into practice when navigating complex, high-stakes environments. This case study will unpack the interplay between technical controls, user behaviour, organisational culture, and external threats, offering attendees a grounded, actionable understanding of modern security challenges.
