Two October Events! RBTC Defense Against the Dark Arts (Oct 2) & RISE Social (Oct 9)

/ roanokeinfosec

We’ve got a busy and exciting October planned for you! Please note the details for two separate events coming up this month.

Event 1: RBTC IT-Security, Defense Against the Dark Arts! Panel Demos

Join our colleagues at the RBTC (Roanoke Blacksburg Technology Council) for a fantastic evening of technical demonstrations! This year has something for everyone, and dinner and drinks are included.

When: Thursday, October 2nd, 5:30 PM – 8:00 PM
Where: VWCC Roanoke

Demo Presentations Include:

  • Web Dev Security: A professional pentester demonstrates how web-XSS/JWTs are weaponized, and how to keep your stuff safe.
  • Red Teaming: The head of the VT ITSO Red Team (pentester) shares one of his custom scanning/reporting tools that he’s created himself and how he uses it to scan and assess VT network/host risks.
  • Malware Analysis: Drill into the methodology for tracking down a Linux endpoint infection with a bitminer, including detection, classification, and remediation.

Come Hack (and defend) with us!

Event 2: RISE Social – Your Pre-Holiday Decompression

Fall is officially here, and before the holiday season chaos begins, let’s gather for our last RISE social of the year! It’s the perfect time to grab a cold beverage (or pretend it’s pumpkin spice season) and decompress before the end-of-year sprint.

Join your fellow cybersecurity pros for a social gathering next Thursday, October 9th at 6:00 PM at Twisted Track.

This is your chance to log off, relax, and swap tales from your infosec adventures. There’s no formal agenda, just an opportunity to connect and maybe phish for some new insights from your peers. It’s a great time to patch into conversations about the latest trends.

Looking Ahead: Also, be sure to stay tuned for November, when we’ll pivot back to a technical session and do a deep dive into agentic coding!

We’re looking forward to seeing you at one or both events!
