We talk a lot about digital or online security. Today we're going to focus on physical security and the general ethos of "be prepared". There are many situations in life when you will find yourself wishing you had had the foresight to acquire certain things or establish certain professional relationships before you actually needed them. Deviant Ollam is a physical penetration specialist. His job is to find and fix weaknesses in physical things... buildings, locks, safes, etc. And along the way he has learned some important lessons for all of us. Today he will share his wisdom with us.
