The day began with a powerful and thought-invoking presentation from keynote speaker and social engineering expert [Christopher Hadnagy](https://www.darkreading.com/author/christopher-hadnagy) on the science behind social engineering. Following this were presentations on Secure DevOps (Matthew Rose) and Digital Transformation (Todd Knapp). During lunch, cybersecurity professor and Compass' Director of Cyber Response, [Jesse Roberts](https://www.compassitc.com/blog/author/jesse-roberts), performed a live hacking demonstration exposing the vulnerabilities in smart devices you likely have in your home, including the Google Home Hub, a smart thermostat, and a smart vacuum cleaner. This was followed by a highly rated presentation titled *"The Government vs. Big Tech: Who Will (and Should) Win?"* ([Brian Lamoureux](https://pldolaw.com/attorneys/brian-j-lamoureux/)) and a panel discussion on securing your cloud environment. The final presentation discussed how older tactics for dealing with cybersecurity problems still apply and was delivered by the well-known founder of the Security Weekly podcast, [Paul Asadoorian](https://securityweekly.com/author/paul-asadoorian/).
