Welcome!

You are invited to join us at security.ac.nz this September for an amazing day of learning about security and hacking.

Who?

You! Anyone who is learning about software, and wants to learn about how to make software secure… with a dose of “how to hack” thrown in.

To clarify: The day will aim to suit students with a 100-level knowledge of software development. However, you’re still welcome if you’re not a University student… anyone interested in security should come!

What?

A day of training in the art of securing the web… covering topics like:

Learning to hack
Threats & Trust
Secure the Cloud
Secure Development
Web Security
Cyber Security Careers
