Corporate lobbies always look secure until someone proves otherwise. In this session, we'll unpack real-world red team stories to demonstrate how physical breaches still reliably lead to network compromise, even in mature security environments.
Each story emphasizes not just what went wrong, but where defenders could have shifted the narrative. We'll talk through the subtle missteps and blind spots that allowed these intrusions to happen, and discuss how red teamers aim for minimal viable disruption, just enough to illustrate risk without causing unnecessary harm.
By examining successes and failures from both attacker and defender perspectives, attendees will better understand why physical entry remains a powerful attack vector in 2025, how attackers turn a moment of physical opportunity into network control, and how security teams can spot ghosts before they settle into a network.
