Hack in the Box 2013 Amsterdam (HITB2013AMS) will host all sorts of interesting talks and competitions. One of these competitions is the Sogeti Social Engineering Challenge 2013.

Sogeti aims at raising awareness among organizations on the importance of effective security policies that can help them avoid reputation-damaging incidents and privacy issues.

Participants will be tasked with obtaining sensitive information from a company. In order to prevent any accidental data leaks and to ensure that no unethical methods are utilized, Sogeti will be closely supervising the event.

Those who want to test out their social engineering skills can register here. Companies that want to have their security tested can also sign up.
