Defense Against the Dark Arts
October 29 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Join the RBTC IT-Security Forum for our popular “Defense Against the Dark Arts” panel-demo event to see some of the most cutting-edge cyber-attacks today, and how to protect your systems and infrastructure from them. Bring a laptop and participate or just watch. Each panelist vulnerability/exploit demo will include a cloud-documented HOWTO for you to take home with on, detailing how to defend against or prevent each attack, or mitigate against it. These live demos are pure gold for IT-Security experts.
Food, beverages, power and wifi (for playing along) are provided. Just RSVP, and BYOLaptop + power supply.
