The Big Security Debate: Offensive vs Defensive - Sydney Edition (800 Tickets)

4 Hackers vs 4 Security Engineers to have a debate discussion on a number of highly important issues that everybody needs to know about. There will be multiple rounds, each round a debate moderator will present a scenario. The team of Hackers must discuss all the ways they can penetrate and discuss all the vulnerabilities, the Security Engineers will then discuss all the ways they can defend themselves from these attacks. Followed by back and forth. At the end of each round we will get the audience to vote if the hackers were able to successfully penetrate or if the security engineers were able to successfully defend (based on debate discussions). Then we will keep a tally and at the end of the evening we will determine the winning team.
