Positive Hack Days is a unique event in the international security market that combines business programs, technical workshops, master classes, roundtable discussions and CTF competitions. The PHDays forum has been set up to draw attention to hands-on security and real life contemporary threats. The following issues will be covered over the course of two days: security of critical information systems, fraud prevention and counter-action, cyber-crime, government and corporate security in the WikiLeaks era, cyber-war and cyber-espionage. Also, cloud and virtual infrastructure protection, counter-action against 0-day attacks, computer forensics, protection from DDoS, SCADA security, application and ERP security, and network security will be considered.

Following our 2011 success we expect 1,000+ visitors in 2012. Half of these people are key players in the security industry in Russia and the CIS, as well as international experts on information security, and world-renowned hackers. Also invited are CIOs, CISOs and leading experts from banking, telecom, oil & gas, government and various other private and public organizations.
