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.

latest developments are and also to do some networking.
