The event, taking place in the Royal International Convention Centre, is expected to attract more than 1,000 cybersecurity enthusiasts, gaining valuable insights into the latest security trends and best practices.
The annual conference features talks by industry professionals including Sarah Young from Microsoft, as well as workshops and interactive activities covering topics such as AI-powered website and app hacking, digital malware analysis, privacy and Open Source Intelligence (OSINT).
