Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) has announced a 2-day event around online security with awesome speakers who are well known in the industry:
- Mohammad Al-Doub (a.k.a Voulnet)
- Chris Roberts of Attivo
- Robert M. Lee of Dragos
- Maher Yamout of Kaspersky
The event will be on August 24th and 25th (Saturday and Sunday), and consists of 2 talks per day followed by a Capture The Flag (CTF) competition. Event details here.
The talks and the CTF competition are free and open to the public, and I highly encourage every student, fresh graduate, and employee to attend. The talks will not be too technical, and should appeal to the general public.
The CTF is open to everyone, both locals and expats, as long as they're already in Kuwait. Winners of the CTF will qualify to compete in the regional competition in Egypt later, and winners will qualify for the international CTF competition in Japan.
