About the Event:

Join Veracode and The Hacking Games for an educational happy hour event on how we can inspire, train and recruit a generation of ethical hackers to make the world safer.

We are facing a generational crisis: $23.8trn is forecasted to be lost in 2027 to Cybercrime, and 80% of US teens have hacked someone by the age of 16.

The Hacking Games is using entertainment to inspire Gen Z to aspire to become Ethical Hackers and are delighted to host a panel of the world’s leading ethical hackers and The FBI to explain more.

The panel event will feature:

• Marcus Hutchins – “The Hacker who saved the Internet” as featured in Wired Magazine.
• Will McKeen – Supervisory Special Agent with the FBI's Cyber Division.
• Chris Wysopal – CTO and Co-Founder of Veracode.
• Samantha Humphries - Senior Director, International Security Strategy at Exabeam
• Moderator Fergus Hay - Co-Founder and CEO The Hacking Games.

Throughout the panel enjoy drinks & appetizers courtesy of Veracode.

About the Hacking Games Enterprise:

The Hacking Games is a global multi-media entertainment, training and recruitment enterprise committed to creating a generation of Ethical Hackers making the world safer.

The Hacking Games will build, educate and recruit the ethical hacking workforce of the future to reduce the labor deficit.

With the cost of Cybercrime forecasted to be $23trn in 2027, and 60% of NYC Teens polled having tried hacking before they were 16 years old, we are facing a generational crisis.

We believe that the perception of hacking needs to be reframed from criminal to creative and constructive, and an ethical code developed to guide this generation to make the right decisions.

To do this we are creating global entertainment properties (Global TV shows and Documentaries) under the brand The Hacking Games.
