BSides San Diego 2020 Volunteer Opportunity

[Timothy Harmon]

BSides San Diego 2020 is an Information Security conference done for security professionals, by security professionals. Our speakers do not talk to the attendees, they involve the attendees with their talks and ensure that everyone enjoys the discussions. This conference will be held on March 7 & 8, 2020 at the National University Spectrum Center Campus.

There are 4 tracks (Story Mode (Main), Level Up, Tutorials, and Castle Defense) available for attendees, various villages (Lock Picking / Tamper Evident, Hardware Hacking, Educators / School / NU, Career / Hiring, and Escape Room) that will be full of great resources and fun, and two (2) Capture the Flag (CTF) events (Main CTF and Wireless CTF). I am in charge of the Castle Defense track and this track deals with the blue team. Blue team is the defense of a company where they are the Security Analysts, Incident Responders, etc. and they are the ones who analyze the security of the company and help to ensure the company is as secure as possible.

We are looking for volunteers!

Volunteers are needed in different areas, such as the talk tracks, CTFs, villages, etc. As a volunteer, you will be helping the conference to run smoothly and this experience can be put onto your resume. Volunteers will be scheduled throughout the day on both days and will be rewarded in one way or another. This opportunity will help you get experience towards your job when you graduate and you will be able to network with other security professionals.
