Garage48 Cyber Security
Technological advancements have flattened the world and brought people from across the globe together via the ever-growing cyberspace. Industry experts predict there will be 6 billion internet users by 2022 (75 percent of the projected world population of 8 billion). Cybercriminals smell blood now, not silicon:)
This rising tide of cybercrime has pushed cybersecurity spending to more than €69.7 billion in 2017. That doesn't include an accounting of internet of things (IoT), automotive/drone security, and other cybersecurity categories. We have to fight against this incoming tide.
It is hard to believe that people used to keep their money under their mattresses. Common illnesses that are now easily treated used to take lives of millions. Modern advancements have solved these problems but opened the door for cybercrime. Two of the top targets of cyber attacks involve the healthcare and financial sectors. We are all vulnerable and need to work together to find smarter ways to fight these threats!
Please join us for the Garage48 Cyber Security Hackathon from 20-22 of April @ IT College!
The main aim of the Garage48 Cyber Security hackathon is to find solutions to some of these recurring problems or come up with completely fresh approaches which would take the cybersecurity to the next level!
Through intense brainstorming, different expertise and top-notch mentors, a lot can be done in a weekend. What might be a daunting task alone, can be easily done together!
We are looking for : data experts, non-technical cybersecurity or data protection professionals, UI/UX designers, front-end developers, back-end developers, electronics engineers, mechanics engineers, marketers, visionaries, experts, marketing gurus and passionate project managers!
Join us for this weekend-long intensive development event where we will develop working prototypes in 48 hours! Prepare yourself for 48 hours full of hacking, coding, designing, building, selling and thinking BIG! If you’re ready to create something crazy and innovative, then this is the event for you!
