Security for DEF CON Singapore.
Hawkeye was the named event-security partner at DEF CON Singapore, the local edition of one of the world's best-known cybersecurity conferences. Our officers worked the conference floor in Hawkeye uniform.
A conference full of security professionals.
DEF CON has run since 1993, and its audience is people who test and break computer systems for a living. The Singapore edition runs over several days, with talks, hands-on contests, vendor stands and plenty of conversation in the corridors. Our brief was to keep the event safe without getting in the way of those conversations.
We worked the event as a named partner. Our officers wore Hawkeye polos with the company logo on the floor. At an event full of security professionals, people want to know which firm is looking after the room.
Talks, contests, vendor stands and corridors.
The event runs several things at once. Keynotes and main-stage talks use the largest halls. Contest rooms, where attendees work on hands-on challenges, have their own check-in. Vendor stands run along the main walkway. Informal conversations happen everywhere else.
Each area needs a different approach. Talks are open to anyone with a badge. Contest rooms have lighter entry checks but stricter rules about equipment. Vendors run their own hospitality. The corridors just need people to be left alone. We planned each area separately instead of treating the whole venue like a stadium.
Experience at tech and cyber events.
Most of our clients run physical sites and events: banks, hotels, stadiums, marathons and ministerial visits. DEF CON is a different kind of client. Having been its named security partner is relevant for tech company AGMs, fintech product launches, cybersecurity company offsites, and regulated-industry events with a technical audience.
If you are planning a tech conference, a fintech launch, a cybersecurity offsite or a similar event, talk to us.
An international tech event, in our own uniform.
Most of our work repeats: stadiums, hotels, residences and marathons make up most of our ten years. DEF CON Singapore is different. It is an international tech event where we worked in Hawkeye uniform, under our own name.
Our team worked the conference floor in Hawkeye polos, under the event's stage backdrop reading "Supercharging Innovation For Our Safer Tomorrow". If your event has a similar audience, talk to us.
