Compass organises Swiss Cyber Storm II
March 10, 2009;
At the biggest European computer wargame participants can fight against cyber criminals.
Together with HSR University of Applied Sciences Rapperswil, Compass organises "Swiss Cyber Storm
II" on 18/19 April. There experts and computer cracks can face the challenge "Hack&Learn" and
fight for the top rankings in the battle. At the same time the participants are going to learn
attacking strategies used by hackers in order to hoist the attackers with their own petard.
Interested persons also have the opportunity to observe the game of the protagonists as spectators.
A total of 25 selected wargames from different fields and platforms such as Windows, Unix,
Network, Malware, Internet applications and encryption have been prepared. In addition a specially
designed Web shop has been integrated into the concept. These technologies are based on the
interactive Compass Hacking-Lab infrastructure.
Besides the playful aspect, Compass specialists and speakers of the HSR will comment in vivid
presentations on questions such as: Why can hackers intrude into computer systems? How does safe
E-banking work? How do I protect myself against current Viruses and Trojans? What is a Botnet? Why
is the Firewall not the universal remedy when fighting computer crime? How safe are social
networks?
The visit of Swiss Cyber Strom II is free of charge. For the active participation in the
wargame a contribution of CHF 44.-- is due (T-Shirt, entrance fee). The ticket is valid for both
days.
