EDUCATION SESSION #702
Hacker by Night: Demystify Cyber Crime - Going behind the Screen
|
|
|
Let Decoded take you further behind the screen than ever before. Learn hands on by hacking into a bank (don't worry, not a real one) using the actual tools adopted by hackers and security professionals. Decoded's team of hackers, data scientists and coders will guide you through the experience while demystifying the world of cybercrime.
After successfully hacking, celebrate with cocktails and the opportunity to ask the Decoders about cybersecurity and how to best protect yourself personally and professionally.
The event will be hosted by Kathryn Parsons, Decoded's founder. With a mission to 'teach the world to code', Kathryn passionately believes that education is the route to empowerment, that technology is for everyone and that any dark art can and should be demystified.
