Vulnerability Analysis
Our goal, probably not yours! Come ask your question and compare the answers you get. Each of the agency reps and ex-agency rep will make an opening statement regarding their agencies role, and then open it up to the audience for questions.
Exploitation and Demonstrations
With representatives from Defense Cyber Crime Center (DC3), FBI, IRS, NCIS, NASA, DHS USCERT, DoJ, NSA , National White Collar Crime Center (NWC3), NSA, US Postal IG, Office of the Secretary of Defense, National Defense University and other fine Federal agencies, you will have an abundance of opportunities to attempt to humiliate, harass, threaten, or even bring them to tears. Go ahead hack away and take your best shot. Remember, what is said on this panel in Vegas, stays on this panel in Vegas..
