Redacted Information Security

🏆 We've been shortlisted as a finalist for the 2024 AISA Cyber Security Awards! The nomination is for our community program providing free cyber security and scam safety seminars to senior community members and vulnerable people through local libraries (you can scroll back through my feed and find our posts about it if you like). It's nice to be a finalist, but honestly nothing beats transforming groups of 90+ year old ladies into password manager evangelists, or taking a hall full of confused older people who can barely read a domain name, and after 70 minutes have them able to achieve 100% identification of 25 scam and phishing communications. I recently had a brief chat with the National Cyber Security Coordinator about our community education program and how we could expand and scale it to a National program. Though I'm not going to give anything away right now, I'll have an announcement coming very soon. Thank you so much Australian Information Security Association (AISA) for the recognition. We're happy with just being a finalist. It's a strong shortlist, full of people who just want to do a bit to help the community be safe in cyberspace. If you're an AISA member then vote in the awards! (I'm not gonna say vote for us, you should read all the nominations and decide for yourself). #cybersecurity #cyber #aisa #cybersecurityawarenessmonth

I had a fantastic time at BSides Adelaide this Saturday and ran into Miranda R. who helped organise one of their CTFs. So, I had a quick chat with her about the Black Bag CTF. Next time you see the Black Bag CTF at a security conference, give it a go. It’s fun! https://lnkd.in/g9XHKJRC

This weekend I had the pleasure of attending the first BSides Adelaide and participating in the black bag CTF by Redacted Information Security again. The event was a blast, and you could tell that every stall, talk, and CTF, including the blackbag, was a true passion project for all those involved. I'm pleased to say that my team 'Open Thanks' consisting of Annie N., Deeno Burgan, Sam D., Edwin Phillips, Lachlan Ferguson, and myself, tied for first with InfoSect. (they did however, finish all the challenges first) Great job team, and thanks to everyone involved with the event! (Also Remy Coll makes a great villain)
