The Security Stage debuts at Disrupt 2023

/in


If you haven’t noticed, the internet is frequently on fire. Overseas cyberattacks are hitting public services like healthcare at home. Data breaches are the new school “snow days.” Small towns and local governments are largely unable to fend off ransomware attacks on their own. Nation-state hackers are undermining human rights and the security and privacy of millions by hacking into phones using undisclosed security flaws. And the emerging world of web3 balances precariously on the fragile foundations of Web 2.0’s problematic past.

But it’s not all doom and gloom. This year, TechCrunch is taking on some of the biggest security and privacy problems head-on at Disrupt 2023 with the sharpest minds and pros in the industry. And there is a lot to talk about.

The debut Security Stage is the one-stop shop for all things security and privacy at TechCrunch Disrupt 2023. By drawing on firsthand reporting from TechCrunch’s security desk this past year, we’re exploring the most pressing and important issues facing tech giants, startups and billions of citizens around the world with the people who know the challenges best.

How do we protect our most valuable information from hostile states without establishing U.S. data laws at home? What can early companies do today to protect users’ data from overreaching surveillance? How do we know to trust the security of the phones in our pockets? Can governments keep cyberspace safe and protect our information without compromising its values or violating human rights? Will web3 be the future financial powerhouse without fixing the problems from yesteryear? Just how on fire are we?

We’ll hear from founders trying to solve the problems and how governments are reacting and responding to the growing threats like spyware, cyberattacks on public services, and election integrity. And we’ll hear from frontline defenders and seasoned professionals with a collective firehose of experience and insight to help today’s emerging companies prepare for the challenges ahead. In previous years we’ve heard from U.S. government agencies like CISA and the NSA, federal lawmakers working to protect Americans’ data, top security executives, and…

This Week’s Hack Chat Sets The Stage For Supercon

/in


While the 2020 and 2021 Remoticons were a blast, we all know that virtual events are no substitute for in-person conferences. Which is why we’re so excited to once again invite the Hackaday community to converge on Pasadena in November for a weekend of talks, workshops, and hardware hacking for our sixth Supercon.

To help get the community prepared for the triumphant return of what we very humbly believe to be the greatest hardware hacking conference the world has ever seen, we invited Majenta Strongheart to this week’s Hack Chat to answer the community’s questions about this hotly anticipated event. There’s an incredible number of moving pieces involved in an event like Supercon, and as Head of Design and Partnerships at our parent company SupplyFrame, she’s integral to putting them all together right up until the doors open on November 4th.

The Chat kicked off with a general confirmation that yes, we did receive your talk and/or workshop proposal. It seems several people didn’t receive the intended confirmation message when they sent their information on, but Majenta assured everyone that all of the completed forms were received correctly and are currently under review. If you put in a proposal, you should be notified in the next few weeks about whether or not it was accepted.

With that out of the way, the next big question was the one that so many of you have been wondering: what does the Hackaday Supercon look like in the era of COVID? The truth is, things are still evolving and it’s hard to be sure of anything with two more months to go. But Majenta did confirm that the decision has been made to limit ticket sales compared to previous years so that attendees have a bit more breathing room — literally and figuratively. In addition many of the planned events will be held outdoors, and the talks will be streamed live for anyone who’d rather not sit in the audience.

Majenta also took this opportunity to let everyone know that the volunteer application form for Supercon will be available very soon, and that as usual, those who are willing to help out will get a free ticket in exchange. Speaking of which, if you’d rather pay the gold price, General…
