St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) March 27, 2015 -- “In order to beat a hacker, you have to think like one.” These are the words St. Louis-based, ethical hacking firm, Parameter Security, lives by and is the foundation on which ShowMeCon is built. By bringing the only hacking and offensive cyber security conference to St. Louis, ShowMeCon will amaze, frighten and educate event-goers as they get an up-close look into the minds of hackers. This fascinating 2 day conference will run from June 8th through June 9th.
“Last year’s response to ShowMeCon was even more amazing than the year before. Not only did we have local and regional attendees but also people from all over the U.S. and internationally. One attendee came all the way from Iceland,” said Renee Chronister, co-founder and CEO of Parameter Security. “We are excited about this year’s event and have added a third track to accommodate all the remarkable speakers and topics.”
ShowMeCon is geared toward IT and security professionals who fight the war against hackers daily. Through presentations, demonstrations and pre-conference training, attendees will better understand the minds and motives of hackers so they can effectively defend against attacks. In addition to witnessing real-world hacks, attendees will discover the latest vulnerabilities, most powerful exploits and current security threats. Plus, event-goers can participate in ShowMeCon’s “capture the flag” contest and take their best shot at hacking into various environments.
This two day con will feature a variety of speakers including professional hacker and co-founder of Parameter Security, Dave Chronister who was recently featured on CNN, Bloomberg TV and FOX Business News discussing the Sony and Anthem breaches as well as the Hillary Clinton email debate. Keynote speakers include: Jason E. Street of Pwnie Express and author of “Dissecting the Hack: The F0rb1dd3n Network” as well as Kenneth White co-director of the Open Crypto Audit Project (OCAP).
