Dear Friend,

The proper mind set why you are encouraged to attend “ROOTCON: 5th Philippine Hacker Conference and Information Security Gathering” is to admit that you lack awareness on security and acknowledging it cannot be solved by just sitting there and think about this.

Getting top secret information, studying how your system works, putting packet sniffers on it, scanning open ports, storing bots on a compromised server, defacing your company website, getting your credit card info and phising are some of the things a hacker could do. So how much damage they can do to harm ordinary Netizens like you? Is your data safe? Do you think keeping your password of your Facebook and email is good enough? The answer is NO!

One could argue either way, but holding back this information would mean havoc on your business and personal lives. So “Security Awareness” is the key here.

The conference fee is P3,500 (Professional). If you register on or before June 30, 2011, you will only pay P2,800 for early bird discount. The conference fee includes AM / PM snacks and lunch (Eat-All-You-Can Buffet) for 2 days, T-Shirt, a cool ROOTCON badge, as well as networking activities, join the contest and may more! Group discount is also available good for 5 participants.
