Interview with Ricki Burke and Sarah Young, co-organisers AllSec Meetups in Melbourne and we dive into Ricki’s @BsidesPer Workshop and Sarah’s SecDevSecOpsSec session.

Ricki is the Director and Founder of CyberSec People and partners with organisations around ANZ to hire infosec (Cyber Security) professionals. He is embedded in the security community, is active at cons and Meetups and built many friendships along the way. With a passion for supporting people to break into security, he has helped many land their first job in the industry.

Ricki's recent articles with the Australian Cyber Security Magazine

Sarah is a security architect based in Melbourne, having previously worked in New Zealand, London and various parts of Europe across a range of industry sectors. In her current role, Sarah helps enterprises move their stuff into the cloud securely. She spends most of her spare time eating hipster brunches and high teas.- Sarah's session: “SecDevSecOpsSec: let’s stop throwing around the buzzwords.” With phrases like “DevSecOps” out there, how many of us actually know what this means? We have DevSecOps, SecDevOps, secure pipelines, security toolchains, etc. too often used interchangeably and with no clear “official” definition. In her talk, Sarah sought to distill the exact meanings of each of these and use examples from her own experiences of creating automated security processes to explain how each can be effectively used, and the tools that she has used to do this.

Security BSides (commonly referred to as BSides) is a hacker convention (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_convention), held amongst a growing eco-system of events in Australia and New Zealand that provide a community driven framework for information security conferences.

BSides was co-founded by Mike Dahn, Jack Daniel, and Chris Nickerson in 2009. Due to overwhelming number of presentation submissions to Black Hat USA in 2009, the rejected presentations were presented to a smaller group of individuals - these became known as the BSides.

Following his presentation on stage at Cyber Security Asia, Kuala Lumpur, we sat down with Reuben Paul, our youngest guest and Cyber Security Ambassador, Child Hacker, Black Belt in Shaolin Do Kung Fu, USA Gymnast, Video-gamer & Cyber Ninja. These are some of the growing titles used to describe 12-year-old Reuben Paul aka “RAPst4r”, the Founder of CyberShaolin.

Reuben was an invited speaker and has delivered over 10 keynotes and over a dozen talks covering various topics ranging from hacking IoT smart toys, Windows OSes, Metasploit, SQL injection, password cracking, hacking mobile devices, malware and social engineering with live demos. He has also been featured at several industry leading security conferences such as (ISC)2 Security Congress, RSA, DerbyCon, Hack In The Box (HITB) HaxPo (Netherlands), Houston Security Conference, BSides Austin, Ground Zero, InfoSec (India), GeekFest Berlin, Secure Poland, Kaspersky Security Analyst Summit, and the International One Conference (Netherlands). He recently shared the stage as a co-keynote speaker with Ms. Glover-Jones, the CIO of the Defense Intelligence Agency in the 2017 Department of Defense Intelligence Information Systems (DoDIIS) worldwide conference.

His demonstrations of hacking smart toys and talks on “Creating a Safe and Secure Cyber World for kids (by a kid)”, “Developing r00t-kidz: The Future of Cybersecurity” and his debut talk entitled “InfoSec Reuben was featured as a hacker kid in the 15 under 15: rising stars in Cyber Security.
