BSides Singapore (Sept. 22-23)

Security BSides began in Las Vegas in 2009 as a "community-driven framework" for information security community members. BSides Singapore takes from its same values but capitalises on the city-state's "melting pot of cultures" to bring people passionate about information security together. It prides itself as a "do-ocracy," fervently believing in making things happen over waiting for things to happen.

At BSides Singapore, participants can expect an "intense [two-day] event" comprising discussions, demos, and interactions on topics like the Kubernetes software, malware, HTTP request smuggling, and supply chain compromises, among many others. Tickets to the virtual conference are priced at S$10.
