Featured Keynote Speaker: Deviant Ollam, professional thief
While paying the bills as a physical penetration specialist with The CORE Group and the Director of Education for Red Team Alliance, Deviant Ollam also sat on the board of directors of the US division of TOOOL (The Open Organisation of Lockpickers) for 14 years, acting as the nonprofit's longest-serving board member.
His books Practical Lock Picking and Keys to the Kingdom are among Syngress Publishing's best-selling pen-testing titles. In addition to being a lockpicker, Deviant is also a SAVTA-certified safe technician, a GSA-certified safe and vault inspector, member of the International Association of Investigative Locksmiths, a Life Safety and ADA Consultant, and an NFPA Fire Door Inspector.
Through the Eyes of a Thief
What do you see when you walk down city streets, through the hallways of office buildings, or ride an elevator up to your hotel room? Most see the world as we are expected to: stores that are open or closed, main entrances we're expected to use, and doors and floors only accessible if we are credentialed and authorized to be there.
That is not the world that I see. I am a professional thief.
