        Title:

        The Hong Kong FinTech HackFest

         

        Location: CAMPFIRE – QUARRY BAY, HONG KONG

         

        Time:June 1-2

         

        Description:

        Multi-award winning Australian cybersecurity firm Entersoft Australia Pty Ltd, the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade), Campfire Collaborative Spaces and PwC proudly present a 24-hour long hackathon to help FinTechs secure their products!

        Cyber security in FinTech is a growing concern, with no markets more directly impacted by its rise than banks, payments and Blockchain. Data from banks and other financial organisations is a premium target for hackers, offering clear incentives for their malicious attacks.

        The event aims to make 15 Hong Kong Fintech products secure within 24 hours. White hat hackers from Entersoft, PwC and other certified white hat hackers will be at the event.

        Why do FinTechs shy away from Cyber Security ?

        • Lack of budget for Application Security.
        • Lack of time for security.
        • Lack of awareness about the need for security.

        The objective of the Hackfest is to help early stage FinTech companies get the security of their applications in place, create awareness about the importance of Application security, and demonstrate Australian capabilities in cybersecurity.   White Hats: Apply here

        (Last date for White Hats to apply is 22nd May 2018)
