16th CTSC 2024 | TSCM "Bug-Off"
Our TSCM competitive “Bug-Off” is an excellent way to network and learn from other like-minded professional TSCM operators while participating in a mildly entertaining and competitive practical component of the conference agenda.
Our previous competitive “Bug-Off” events were an outstanding success and provided an excellent opportunity for a light-hearted competitive sprit during the conference. The “Bug-off” is open to all conference participants who wish to participate for a chance to win a host of prizes and perhaps most importantly, bragging rights.
The individual that has identified accurately the most technical threats will be deemed the 1st prize winner, and so with the 2nd and 3rd prizes. Seasoned TSCM spectrum warriors and those who are new to the Technical Security (TSEC) industry will utilize whatever equipment they normally use on the job or may utilize the various supplied equipment resources available on-site.
This event gives attending equipment manufacturers an opportunity to get their respective products into the hands of potential customers. The individual will be provided with a time based assignment to be completed and submitted to the conference committee for evaluation.
Prizes, Awards, Peer Recognition, and Bragging Rights are just a few of the benefits for participants of our 16th TSCM “Bug-off”. The TSB “Office of Evil Intent” is eagerly looking forward to these sessions and the brave few that are prepared to accept the ultimate challenge.
As usual the “Office of Evil Intent” (aka Andrzej Wolczanski and Paul D Turner) will be designing a challenging experience for all those who dare to choose to participant in this year’s competitive event. Remember, who dares, wins!
