Strengthening the Cybersecurity and Cryptocurrency Industries
With Hacken
Cybersecurity and cryptocurrencies are hot topics right now.
According to CyberSeek, there are more than 348,000 open
cybersecurity positions in 2017, and this number is set to hit 1.8
million by 2022. However, there is not enough supply to meet the
high demand in the market, especially for penetration testing and
bug bounty programs. Hacken plans to change that.
HackIT conference director and Hacken team member Vladimir
Taratushka said:
"The ultimate goal of the Hacken ecosystem is to create a
generation of hackers to whom what Oleksii did is entirely normal,
the only acceptable life scenario."
Hacken aims to meet that emerging demand, receiving recognition
and early success for the team's efforts. On September 19, Hacken won 2nd place out of 25
projects competing in the d10e ICO Pitch Challenge in Kyiv. The team won 33 BTC and earned more
public attention, motivating them to produce more innovation and
improvements. You can watch the Hacken pitch here:

Hacken Ecosystem
Hacken is building a sound, regional cyber defense system,
tailormade for the blockchain. The platform is set to adjust itself
to the cybersecurity challenges that will undoubtedly appear within
the next decade. The company will use Blockchain technology and
smart contracts to store product data, conduct research audits, and
issue HackenProof Vulnerabilities and Countermeasures
Certificates.
The Accelerator
The Hacken Accelerator is an initiative program started by
Hacken in collaboration with 1991 Incubator. In the Accelerator,
startups will be mentored by the pros of Ukrainian and global
cybersecurity companies. The six-month program hopes to address the
shortage of practice and piloting, as well as the sustainability of
cyber startups in Ukraine.
HKN Token
Hacken Tokens can be used within the Hacken ecosystem to make
new investments via Hacken Accelerator and orders via HackenProof
Unreported Zero-Day Remuneration Platform and the Cybersecurity
Analytics Center. Community members will also get rewarded in HKNs,
which provides positive liquidity and low volatility.
The platform will mine a total of 20 million HKN tokens, which
will be made available for sale at a price of $1.00 per HKN. Participants in the token sale can
purchase them against BTC and ETH. For more details visit

Hacken CFO Dmytro Budorin,
while commenting on the platform's advantages, said:
"The alternative we are promoting is launching a legitimate
business and halting being dependent on the Don who pays for petty
dirty jobs. Boosting expertise in this area is a matter of survival
for European countries."
The Hacken Team
Bright leadership, together with strategic partnerships, will
ensure the future success of Hacken. Its outstanding leadership
includes:
- Dmytro Budorin (CFO and Lead Manager of Hacken) — one of the
top executives within Ukraine's
military defense industry and ACCA for Deloitte for eight years and
