¡Bienvenidos a Miami!
As Pwn2Own has grown over the last 12 years, it has always evolved. The Vancouver-based contest grew from just web browsers to include virtualization software and enterprise applications. In 2012, we added a contest to focus on mobile devices. That contest evolved to focus on multiple types of devices, and in just a couple of weeks, we’ll see if wireless routers, web cameras, and smart TVs will be compromised.
Starting next January, Pwn2Own grows again by adding a third competition at the S4 conference in Miami South Beach on January 21 – 23, 2020. This contest focuses on Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and associated protocols. We’ve had discussions for years about running a Pwn2Own for ICS, but there are many challenges to holding such a contest. To overcome these issues, we worked with multiple people and companies within the ICS industry to ensure we have the right products and categories to create a meaningful test of the security of these products and protocols. Special thanks go out to the folks at Rockwell Automation for providing virtual machines with their products all set for the contest. They have a history of embracing researchers, and we're happy to have them on board. As with our other contests, Pwn2Own Miami seeks to harden these platforms by revealing vulnerabilities and providing that research to the vendors. The goal is always to get these bugs fixed before they’re actively exploited by attackers ..
