One week ago, the 5th Global Cybersecurity Technology Research Summit<\/a> organised by the Centre for Secure Information Technologies (CSIT<\/a>) at Queen\u2019s University Belfast (QUB<\/a>) took place. This year\u2019s conference was underpinned by the theme “A Future Legacy” and was tied to Belfast\u2019s heritage as a hub for industry and engineering. Among the more than hundred participants from academia, industry and governments, future technological developments and challenges were discussed. Specifically the societal element of cybersecurity was one of the core focuses of this year\u2019s keynotes and break-out sessions, depicting a new as well as a necessary trend within the field.<\/p>\n

Day 0: Let the hacking begin<\/h3>\n

One day prior to the official start of the main Summit, attendees had the chance to engage in a capture the flag hackathon. Some Twitter-Posts display that the competitors took the task very seriously and – for once and officially – hacking was allowed and actually more than welcomed. Day 0 ended with a brief speaker\u2019s session which involved Pizza and free drinks and hopefully comforted all the ones who lost or simply missed to eat throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Nobody has gone up for sandwiches yet! The hackers are too busy hacking – food is an unwanted distraction! #Belfast2015<\/a><\/p>\n
