Round Table

Last year was our first attempt to hold the Round Table—gathering both industrial and governmental cybersecurity decision-makers in Taiwan to discuss a spectrum of issues for further insights! For this year’s Round Table, we’re expanding the number of participants and splitting them among three tables: chief infosec officers (CISOs), smart manufacturing, and the financial sector. Each table has a host to introduce different topics and to guide participants throughout the discussion. We hope to provide a circumstance where cybersec decision-makers could build upon each other and improve the general IT security of companies in Taiwan. The details of the conversation will not be publicized and no media are to be admitted during the session.

Workshop

HITCON Workshop is a series of courses that through a variety of activities (e.g. hands-on session, video tutorials, slide presentations, CTF) aims to bring the audience into the many research fields of cyber security and help them uncover their own areas of interest!

Infosec Saloon

After the 2021 HITCON Infosec Saloon, there have been many interesting sharing on technical topics that have spurred wide community interest. We are bringing back the Infosec Saloon this year with the unchanged intention to bring fun and opportunities for self-development.

Novel research does not have to be of technical complexity. Regardless of your seniority, as long as the contents of your presentation is of relevance with hacker technology, interesting, and you are open to sharing, we will welcome you as a speaker to the Infosec Saloon.

This saloon is an in-person only event, and anyone can join as an audience. It will take place in the afternoon of August 20 at the venue, and each session will be 20 minutes.
