Over 1,500 cybersecurity experts will discuss challenges and trends at DefCamp

After two years of exclusive online activity, the most important annual hacking and cybersecurity conference in Central and Eastern Europe returns onsite in Bucharest, on 10th-11th November 2022, to bring together the infosec expert community in the region.

 

In recent years, companies have focused heavily on the rapid adoption of digitization to enable them to continue working remotely as a result of the pandemic.

Since its first edition in 2011, DefCamp has brought together the region’s community of security experts to showcase current solutions for effective and lasting protection against increasingly agile cybercriminals. This year’s edition will focus on creating opportunities to reconnect and develop members’ skills, after two years of being exclusively online. The event is physically expected to attract more than 1500 participants from around the world,…
