PURPOSE

The purpose of the conference will be to provide information security professionals and researchers in South Africa the opportunity to share their knowledge and research results with their peers.  For many delegates this would then be their opportunity to “test the waters” for new ideas and concepts before submitting it for international scrutiny.  

The conference will also give junior researchers and researchers, who might be new to the Information Security field, the opportunity to gain some valuable experience in writing an article, developing a presentation and presenting their results. 

People from industry will be able to use this as an opportunity to find out what the latest developments are and also to do some networking.

The objectives of the conference have been defined as follows:

  • The sharing of local and international experiences and lessons

  • To promote networking and business opportunity development

  • To encourage the study of information security

  • To support the development of a professional information security community

  • To assist self development

  • To provide a forum for education, knowledge transfer and the development of new skills and professional development

  • To promote best practice in information security and its application in Southern Africa

  • To facilitate the meeting of diverse cultures in sharing and learning from each other in the quest for safer information systems
