Abstract:
One of the attacks that has plagued our industry for a while now is Man-in-The-Middle or MiTM as it is usually referred to. Recently, we have seen variations of this MiTM attack such as the DoubleDirect attack against mobile devices.
In the “Teach Security” part of this talk, MiTM will be discussed and demonstrated, so that you would learn about why this attack is so prevalent and potent as well as learn about how you can mitigate it. In the “Teach Christ” part of this talk, a look at MiTM from a biblical perspective will be covered. In the “Teach Security in Christ” part, strategies from the Bible and the necessary protection that is found only in the Scripture, will be covered.
