The magnificent Luzhniki Stadium, which is known for hosting the 1980 Summer Olympics and the 2018 FIFA World Cup final, welcomed tech professionals for a high-profile worldwide cybersecurity event last month under the brilliant Moscow sun.
During a sporting slugfest, arenas like Luzhniki Stadium are like a cauldron. However, throughout the three-day event (May 22–24), one of the most famous athletic arenas in the world seemed to be an exhibition centre, drawing thousands of visitors eager to view the newest developments in the fight against cybercrime.
Argentinian on-field referee Nestor Pitana’s VAR (Video Assistant Referee) consultation resulted in a penalty for Kylian Mbappe-inspired France during their 4-2 victory over Croatia at the Luzhniki Stadium, marking the first time the technology was used in a FIFA World Cup. This irony was not lost on football fans. Although technology has dramatically reduced human mistake by referees, umpires, and line judges in sports, hackers can still cause fatalities when they breach computer systems.
In light of this, Positive Technologies’ cybersecurity event, Positive Hack Days (PHD), is an essential venue for a safe digital future. Prominent government representatives, cybersecurity specialists, and ethical hackers from Asia, South America, Africa, and the Middle East shared their expertise on defending against hacker threats at the event, which the Russian Ministry of Digital Development sponsored.
