What it takes to protect and break into data centers with Deviant Ollam

About this episode

Deviant Ollam discusses the physical aspects of cybersecurity and the evolving nature of supply chain attacks.

Supply chains, server crashes, and building break-ins. Our latest episode is a reminder that cybersecurity doesn’t stop at the screen. 🏢🔐 We sit down with Deviant Ollam, physical security expert and pentester, as he lifts the lid on the physical “IRL” side of security. From bypassing door locks and badge systems to testing data center defenses, Deviant shares what attackers are looking for, and why the physical layer can be the weakest link. 🚪🔑 But that’s not all! In Watchtower Weekly, we unpack how supply chain attacks are evolving into a self-reinforcing cybercrime economy — where one breach fuels the next, creating an endless loop of access, data, and profit for attackers. ⭕️💻
