The Cyber Security Show Conference

Attended the Cyber Security Show organized by Terrapinn in conjunction with the IOT Show. Took place in Suntec City Exhibition hall and held on the 22nd to 23rd September 2015. Although 70% of the booths were concentrated on the IoT, the sponsored talks were actually good to listen to. One of the unique things for this conference was that there were a series of table discussions where notable professionals in the security industry gave a topic for a round table discussion. This is definitely something conferences should have especially if one of the agenda is to allow delegates to network and what better way to network then to start off with a round table discussion, getting to know each other and exchanging business cards.

Had a lot of great talks but of course dont expect the kind of Defcon or BSides Technical talks as these were more focused to decision makers as well as C & S level people on the latest emerging technologies that would assist them to protect their organizations.

And since i have this interest in Critical Infrastructure and SCADA, i attended the following tracks which provided a holistic view of the Critical Infrastructure issues and how their products or services can assist organizations.

One of the things i liked about Govware is the Cyber challenge CTF event that allow students and hacking enthusiasts to participate and test their hacking skills. As a past CTF participant myself, i know the pressure and the fun involved in such events.. whoever the winner will definitely has something to brag about!

And of course, the many vendors and product booths. Some showed awesome demonstrations, some provided free Tshirts, stickers and USB sticks!

And yeah, thats me having a selfie at Govware! ;)
