Future Cyber Conference - Future Cyber Defence

An integral part of the event will be the Cyber Hacking Show in the so-called Live Hacking Zone (LHZ), where it will be possible to test selected partner technologies in real participant testing scenarios, enrich the program with practical demonstrations and solve selected hacking challenges as part of competitions. Participants will have the opportunity to try out a number of practical skills on-site through CRYPTO QUIZZES, CYBER AWARENESS, CYBER RANGE activities and the so-called Cyber Escape Room (CER), which will practically test their cyber security knowledge. The LHZ will feature three days of demonstrations of modern technologies, educational lectures, competitions and quizzes. The goal of the professional event is to identify challenges for the public, private and academic sectors in the field of security and mutual cooperation, as well as to present business opportunities in cyber security and critical infrastructure protection.
