The Basics are the Breach: Lessons from Real-World Product Security Reviews

Attackers rarely need new tricks; they just keep exploiting the same old ones.
In this session, Bishop Fox experts unpack findings from two years of hands-on product testing across industries including healthcare, consumer IoT, industrial, and financial systems. The research confirms that the majority of vulnerabilities are the same preventable weaknesses that continue to undermine trust, disrupt operations, and erode brand reputation.
You’ll hear how attackers chain together small flaws (default credentials, exposed interfaces, broken cryptography, and insecure configurations) to achieve full compromise. This webcast goes beyond the data to focus on what security leaders can actually do: how to raise the baseline of product security, embed testing into design, and prevent the everyday vulnerabilities that attackers rely on.

What You’ll Learn:
- What two years of real-world product testing revealed about today’s most common vulnerabilities
- Why “medium” and “low” issues still lead to critical business impact through attack chaining
- How regulatory pressure, product lifecycle, and market speed influence security maturity by industry
- Concrete actions organizations can take to eliminate systemic weaknesses and strengthen resilience
Who Should Attend:
CISOs, product security leaders, engineering managers, and anyone responsible for securing connected products or embedded systems.
