The Talks::
The Art of Scalable System Design: Patterns and Anti-patterns by Gary Emmerton
Building systems that can scale effectively isn't just about adding more servers or throwing money at the problem. This talk explores fundamental patterns and principles that make systems naturally scalable, while highlighting common anti-patterns that can limit growth. Through practical examples and real-world scenarios, we'll examine how small architectural decisions early in development can have major impacts on scalability
Honeypots 2025: Comparing three different countries by Jonathan Haddock
A honeypot is a system for which there is no intended legitimate access, so what happens when you place three honeypots on the public Internet, in three different countries? Jonathan will explain what a honeypot is before talking through his research from July 2025, and comparing it to previous research in 2021 and 2022. You may find this year’s most popular password surprising!
