Luncheon Topic:The Annual South Texas Chapter business meeting and elections (see the website), followed by....The InfoSec Challenge Abstract:As yet another year has quickly passed it is time again for the InfoSec Challenge Contest, the game of skill where WE the membership engage in a team competition to determine who has the best security skill and current cyber affairs knowledge. InfoSec Challenge is a team skills challenge event, your team consisting of the members and guests from your table. Choose where your table carefully. The contest is played in three rounds: The InfoSec Challenge Round, InfoSec Challenge2 Round where points double, and Final InfoSec Challenge where the top three tables can wager any amount up to the amount earned during the first two rounds. Features of the contest include a familiar clue/question format plus the InfoSec Double and a few surprise chances to earn significant points. The Clue/Questions are arranged in categories that are revealed at the beginning of each round. Table numbers are drawn by lot for the opportunity to provide a question that fits the clue until either all clues are revealed or time expires.
