Last year the NAFCU Technology and Security Conference featured an innovative “Hacker Challenge”, where attendees got to – legally – act as hackers for a day. The new and improved version will be at this year’s event, February 23 – 26 in Las Vegas, Nevada. If you think you’re good at providing security for your credit union, now you finally have a chance to prove it! Traditional hacker labs tend to be passive, showing, for example, compromised credit card information being traded live online, but what is even more useful is to show how the information was compromised in the first place. Once you understand how to play offense, you can take a superior approach to defense. You will learn about the latest evolving hacker tactics from Digital Defense’s Chief Compliance Officer and the company’s prime regulatory compliance resource, Tom DeSot.
In the podcast, we interview Tom to learn how the Second Extreme Hacker Challenge works and how it is more challenging and informative than last year’s. Following a background briefing, participants will begin competition running off of a local network to see who can penetrate the network the fastest. In essence, attendees will have a chance to step into the shoes of credit union hackers for a day. In addition to bragging rights, there will also be prizes for the top competitors.
Digital Defense delivers affordable network security to organizations of all sizes, serving more than 900 clients nationwide, 77% of which are credit unions, and is the preferred partner of NAFCU Services Corp. for information security including risk assessment, threat and security management.
