About the conference

In Australia, the annual AusCERT conference is the premier IT security event for IT security professionals and all those with an interest in IT security. This is the 11th year we have been running this conference and interest in the conference from delegates, speakers and sponsors has grown accordingly. In 2011, almost 1100 delegates attended and AusCERT2012 is expected to attract similar numbers. As before, we also expect to attract delegates from organisations worldwide.

AusCERT is the leading Computer Emergency Response Team for Australia and provides computer information security advice to the Australian public, its members, including the higher education sector. We are a single point of contact for dealing with computer security incidents affecting or involving Australian networks. Read more about us - click here.
