The PNP ITMS will hold its 3rd annual Hackathon with 5 challenges:
Asset Tracking
Plate Number Recognition for Carnapping Cases
Cyber Threat Mitigation
Digital Forensics Invesigation
Predictive Policing
The winner last year was a team from TIP that used a motion detector and artificial intelligence to prevent crimes.
The hackathon includes:
an IT Expo that showcases companies such as Packetworx
talks by government deparment heads and tech companies
Update: October 18
Digital Transformation Program Talk
The PNP gave a talk about its Digital Transformation and Smart Policing Program. Among its vision was an independent LAN for all offices of the PNP.
Security Operations
A security company, making Cortex XDR, explained the problems with cybersecurity such as companies:
having too much noise
receiving too many low quality attacks
having too many products to protect
having too many repetitive tasks.
Their company is able to monitor the security for global operations of top companies using only 22 security analysts. This is done through the use of artificial intelligence.
DOST
The DOST also gave a talk about its roadmap and programs.
Among its projects was Onestore PH. We checked it and found it was merely a Woocommerce implementation which uses Wordpress.
By our standards as app developers, that system is pathetic. Is that the best DOST-DTI can do?
A better solution would be to fork Odoo or build one from scratch using Golang. This will make it worthy to be a nationwide platform for 110m citizens.
Update: October 19 Finals
The Top 3 were:
Team UP-Cite of Phinma University of Pangasinan
Team GGG of National University
Team Gigamike with KaagaPI
Mike Galon of Team Gigamike with Ehmil of Team Superphysics. Team GGG is behind them on stage
