Radware’s Hackers Challenge Event Series Offers Front Row Seat to Cyberthreats
November 16 2017 - 6:00AM
Radware® (NASDAQ:RDWR), a leading provider of cyber security and
application delivery solutions, has launched its Hackers Challenge
event series, which is a global competition that pits penetration
testers, bug bounty hunters, and other security professionals
against the clock as they try to crack a series of security
challenges. This live event gives the audience an opportunity to
see what goes on behind the scenes of a real attack.
The upcoming Radware Hacker’s Challenge event takes place in New
York City on December 6, 2017, with future event locations include
London and Madrid in 2018.
Adam Pasieka, Director of Global Enterprise Security Sales at
Cisco said, “This should be a pretty cool event! We’ve worked with
Radware on some of these events around the world and they have been
very successful. People really enjoy the dynamic atmosphere. This
is the first time we’re bringing it together in the U.S. and it
gives us a great opportunity to show-off our 'better-together'
strategy for stopping threats on the Network Edge.”
The Radware Hacker’s Challenge events simulate real world
threats by giving participants a chance to hack both a website and
a network during a live competition. During the event, participants
will compete to infiltrate a system, deny services, collect or
change information, escalate privileges, and perform tasks that
only administrators are granted. The challengers will compete
though several rounds, with alterations to permissions and security
settings in each round.
“For anyone who wants to see what an attack looks like from the
hacker’s perspective, we’ve created a safe and legal environment
for them to throw everything they have at a system,” said Radware
Chief Marketing Officer Anna Convery-Pelletier. “Our own security
researchers will be on-hand to explain the competitors’ strategies
and how attacks could be stopped.”
Radware designed its Hackers Challenge series to raise awareness
of security challenges among IT security professionals, and to help
the security community communicate and share information. In 2017,
Radware has hosted its Hackers Challenge in Peru, Panama, Chile,
Columbia, France, and Germany. Prizes vary based on event
location. For more information on Radware's Hackers
