The week of November 10 was filled with learning and excitement for security technology enthusiasts at Cisco’s Bangalore campus as people gathered for SecCon-X 2014, Cisco’s largest annual cross-company security conference. The event scaled in scope and content compared to last year, starting with a dedicated customer engagement event, and was followed by two days of conference activities, including 21 presentations and 2 panel discussions by a varied mix of speakers and panelists from industry, academia, and Cisco. All the sessions were packed with 250+ participants and 350+ IP TV viewers each day, which was proof of how the Cisco community in Bangalore relished the event. The huge buzz around the vendor expo booths and the poster walls was heartening to see.
What was new this year?
- 11 boot camp and training sessions on a wide range of security technology topics.
- The Customer Engagement Event was a huge success with 20+ customers participating in the event, which enabled Cisco to communicate our vision, demonstrate our solutions, and hear from customers on the challenges they faced in the evolving threat landscape.
- Events like Hack Your Device (7 teams filed security defects on various products), Capture The Flag (116 participated and 10 captured all the flags), and a Lunch & Learn session for Cisco Women in Cyber Security, were well arranged and much appreciated by all attendees.
