Sekurecon

Sekurecon is a cybersecurity conference and community event that brings together researchers, practitioners, and students to discuss information security, privacy, and related technologies. The program typically features keynote talks, technical sessions, workshops, and live demonstrations addressing current threats, defensive practices, and practical skill development.

Organization and scope: Sekurecon operates as a volunteer‑driven initiative with input from volunteers, sponsors, and partner institutions. Editions have been held in multiple cities and, in some years, as a virtual event to accommodate a wider audience. The format often includes an opening keynote, parallel talk tracks, and hands‑on labs or demos.

Program and topics: Common topics include secure coding, threat intelligence, incident response, cryptography, network security, privacy engineering, and security governance. Some editions incorporate capture the flag (CTF) exercises, vendor‑neutral demonstrations, and training workshops for students and early‑career professionals.

Impact and reception: Sekurecon functions as a platform for knowledge exchange, professional networking, and skill development. It typically publishes slides or talks after events and helps foster local security communities through meetups, mentoring, and community projects.
