September 11- 12, 2006
Hotel Intercontinental
Makati City, Philippines
This year’s 5th Information Systems Security conference and exhibit is dubbed: “ManilaCon 2k6:progress@risk” and is organized by the Information Systems Security Society of the Philippines (ISSSP), in cooperation with the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) and the National Security Council (NSC) towards the development and implementation of a National Cyber Security Strategy.
We need one to ensure the integration of public and private efforts to counter threats and institutionalize the protection of national and local cyber infrastructures and businesses.
We expect all security concerned CEOs, CIOs, Security Officers and Systems Administrators/Programmers to be more vigilant in securing cyberspace, not just for the protection of their respective enterprises but for the protection and security of all those existing and doing business in cyberspace.
This conference and exhibit is designed to kick-start this national effort and concern.

Hack In The Box Sdn Bhd (HITB) announced that it will once again host the region’s best-known Capture The Flag hacking competition during the upcoming HITBSecConf2006 to be held from Sept 18-21 at The Westin Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.
Capture The Flag, or CTF as it is better known, is a team-based competition where teams of three to five players pit their skills in defending a server against computer security attacks from other teams. At the same time, these teams will be attacking the servers of other teams in order to gain points.
Held over two days, teams will be scored on their ability to defend their servers in the wake of exploitable software as well as their ability to exploit security bugs on the servers of their competitors. At the end of the competition, the team with the most points will be adjudged the winner.
