Tailored for security practitioners, this immersive event covers both offensive and defensive disciplines, placing a significant focus on technical aspects. It provides exceptional value to cyber security professionals at all levels, fostering an environment where attendees can share experiences, knowledge, tools and techniques to advance the field.
The next two-day conference will be announced soon.
Focusing on security practitioners and spanning the full spectrum of offensive and defensive disciplines, the event has a strong technical emphasis, encouraging collaboration on bleeding edge techniques, case studies from the field and new security tools.
