The HSD Café during the Cyber Security Week on Thursday 16 April will be on “Ethical Hacking and Responsible Disclosure”.
The HSD Café is dedicated to discussing the issues and opportunities surrounding ethical hacking and responsible disclosure. First, we assess the situation in the Netherlands, by looking at fraud figures from the ‘Hoffmann Statistiek’ report. Then we zoom in on ethical hacking. Ethical hackers have the authorization to penetrate computer systems or networks, which allows organisations to patch up network vulnerabilities and continuously develop their IT security framework. Unauthorized hacks, however, pose a significant threat to an organisation’s information security and reputation if the holes in their network are revealed to the public. Moreover, hackers who operate without required licensing and permission face criminal prosecution. How can hacks be used to strengthen computer systems without compromising corporate security or discouraging hackers to reveal network vulnerabilities to respective organisations? Responsible disclosure is one solution to this problem, which will be discussed during a one-hour panel discussion with four experts.
The HSD Café is set up as follows:
From 16:00 until 16:20, three speakers will briefly introduce the topic of this HSD Café:
• A representative of Hoffmann BV will present main results from its 2015 ‘Hoffmann Statistiek’ report on fraud and fraud prevention. The report (in Dutch) can be found here.
• Mr. Chris van ‘t Hof, TekTok, will present his book “Helpende Hackers” (2015)
• Mr. Michael Gesner van der Voort, Dionach, will present on Ethical Hacking
• Mr. Dick Schoof, NCTV, will present on Responsible Disclosure
The presentations will be followed by a discussion during which questions can be answered. From 17:00 onwards there will be drinks and networking opportunities.
