The Great Data Heist: Trust, Power & Cyber Warfare
Espionage, Hacking and Sensitive Data: The Game Is On…
The Heist of the Century Has Already Begun: How to Steal Data
Data is the new gold.
An invisible yet strategic treasure, highly coveted and constantly exposed.
Every day, massive volumes of data are collected, cross-referenced and exploited. Some are visible. Others far less so. And some are already circulating where we never look… including on the dark web.
The Great Data Heist takes you inside this silent war.
For this special edition, we are bringing together experts in data protection, cybersecurity specialists, as well as hacking and red team professionals. The objective: to understand how attacks are built, how data is compromised and how organizations attempt to protect what matters most.
Highlights of the evening:
- Live hacking demonstrations showing in concrete terms what data can be gathered about an individual, from open sources to the deepest corners of the web. A striking immersion into the reality of data leaks and misuse of information.
- An immersive team-based escape game. A scenario inspired by real cyberattacks, where each group must analyze, decide and collaborate to protect their vault before the countdown ends.
At stake: the grand prize for the team that manages to keep its treasure intact.
An interactive and immersive experience to understand why data has become the new gold, how it is attacked and how it can be defended.
The vault is here. Time is running out. The heist of the century has already begun. 🔐
