What will happen in your session?

The participants will play the game of Bingo to understand different open source tools to protect themselves and their community from day-to-day security threats. Unlike traditional bingo game, the security bingo cards will contain names of security tools instead of numbers.

The game is played as follows:

  • Each participant will be given a bingo card which contains unique combination of the security tools. The facilitators will randomly pick a tool.
  • If the name of the picked tool exist in their bingo card, the participants will cross it.
  • Meanwhile, the facilitators will discuss the Do's and Don'ts of the tool in detail.
  • There will be small perks for those who complete row, column or full house!

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

The goal of this game is to educate everyone to use some of the amazing open source security tools to protect their daily Internet activities covering five areas:

  • secure browsing
  • secure communication
  • securing the website
  • routine checks and best practices
  • advance protection

The participants may know some of the tools, however, there is a high chance that it has not yet been regularly used. The reasons are twofold:

  • the tools are perceived to be difficult to adapt, especially for a group;
  • the tools are not popular in spite of its usefulness.

The goal of this game is to discuss the need of a diverse set of open source tools in a fun-filled manner.

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.

Nothing at all! But, if anyone has cool stickers/ goodies to be distributed, give it to us. We will make the best use of it.
