HTB Roster

Hack the Building 2020 Participants FROM INDUSTRY, GOVERNMENT & ACADEMIA

Event Format

The event is designed to highlight the importance of critical infrastructure cybersecurity for commercial and government facilities. Government and commercial are two of the critical infrastructure pillars in the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) list of critical infrastructure.

The event will act as a showcase for offensive and defensive cyber skills centered on critical infrastructure cyber such as building automation systems (BAS), industrial control cyber (ICS), IoT devices used in typical commercial and government office buildings and related information technology (IT) that these systems utilize or communicate with.

The concept is to allow offensive teams to utilize their tactics and techniques to target the various facility systems including networks and software in the same manner as any adversary would for day one – day two of the event.

Day 3 and day 4 of the event will be an offense on defense event where cyber threat detection solutions and defensive teams will attempt to defend the building’s systems using skill and technology.

The event plan includes live streaming and filming various aspects of the event. Footage will be part of an event documentary.

The network design for the event will allow for remote and onsite team participation.

The following systems will be in play: surveillance cameras, building access control, wireless access points and network, building automation system, HVAC, fire suppression systems and alarms. This list represents the current attack surfaces in play.

The building is an empty building consisting of 155,000 SQFT across two floors and a basement and a large parking lot.

Companies not fielding a team for the event but that wish to expose their solutions and capabilities can participate in the showcase and have their products featured on the event website along with information such as brochures and white papers.

The team is contemplating a pre-event webinar to discuss the event, get questions asked and answered and listen to recommendations.

HTB Documentary

The event documentary footage will be split between the Title sponsors and event footage.

The plan includes a pre-event filmed sizzle reel and a post event filmed sizzle reel.

Title sponsors will be featured in the event documentary and provided time to highlight their company, skills and solutions and to discuss the importance of their capabilities to critical infrastructure cybersecurity for facilities, IT, OT and IoT devices and networks.

Title sponsors will have their own splash page on the event website and a link to their corporate website. Also HTB’s social media platforms will feature title sponsor branding.
