Hacker or Defender?

I’ve always had the belief that in order to really understand something you have to break it and then fix it.  Well maybe not break it but take it apart at least :)  I really believe this when it comes to security.  If you don’t know what threats are out there, how can you protect against them?  If you don’t understand how hackers get through firewalls, how can you deploy one or manage it?

Have you ever wondered how hackers gain access to your computer? Are you interested in learning about some of the most threatening viruses online? Do you want to learn how to protect yourself? Join industry and Microsoft experts at Hack and Defend Workshop to get a hands-on demonstration of the most current hacking methods and practical ways to protect yourself against them. This is a great opportunity for you to network with your peers, share experiences and learn from experts. We will also give away books, software and related materials at the workshop . There is no cost to attend but seating is limited and will be allocated on a first-come first-serve basis. Choose to attend either the morning of the afternoon session.
