In this digital age when our whole lives are online, it is no surprise that security has become an increasing concern of many. Whilst you're busy worrying about your privacy settings on Facebook and whether your boss is able to see your status updates, there are more pressing issues at hand.

IF you know about the annual HITB Security Conference or HITBSecConf, then you probably know that at the end of every successful conference, the Hack In The Box (HITB) team will already be thinking about how to elevate the next event with better talks, bigger shows and stronger battles.
