Base Cyber Security is excited to be present at Nullcon Goa 2019!
Base Cyber Security was present at Nullcon GOA 2017 and 2018, and after having such a great time, Base has decided to be present once again! This year’s event has again a lot to offer, with a great conference, interactive events, hacking challenges and more!
One of the better international security conferences in Asia, this year’s line up both on trainings, speakers and in general information security community spirit, is one not to be missed! And of course, location wise, Goa helps with really forgetting the world and focusing on making the most out of a great security conference!

Event Review – Nullcon Infosec Conferences 2017 & 2018
Event review
Two great Nullcon events in the past 2 years – bigger, better, same high quality of topics, guest speakers and most importantly the information security community attending it! The Base Cyber Security team had some great conversations, exchanged thoughts and learned a lot on many infosec and cyber security related topics!
From the Mirai Botnet and DDoS attacks, to IoT and RFID hacking, to lots of interesting topics on bug bounties and responsible disclosures which was a hot topic (Microsoft Azure, Facebook, Google, Adobe Security) to obfuscation techniques, to fuzzing, IoT hacking with software defined radio (SDR) and GNU Radio, to machine learning put to work in cyber attacks, to hardware security, to hypervisors and the hyberplatform, to securing the cloud and application security, to ATM cracking, blockchain related security, to using containers / Docker in your security initiatives, to DevOpsSec, to privacy, and threat detection using AI; just some of the topics touched upon in the conference.
A CxO track brought great minds together – impressive line up: CISOs, Information Security Directors, VPs of Security Architecture, of Secure Software Engineering, Founders and Managing Directors of global security research and security specialist companies – all companies with a priority and mandate on information security. Through panel discussions connected everything information security with business, governance and overall our society. From local to global, from the technology and talent perspective, privacy and the future of things, sharing their experience and perspective and sharing their thoughts to great questions, challenges and statements from the security community.
Add on top of all these conversations after the presentations, in the corridors and of course outside in the gardens, pool area, and of course continued to the magnificent Goa beaches and many shacks on the beach – accompanied by a (few?!) local Goan King’s beer and delicious local indian fish based dishes.

Add a great Winja CTF and social engineering competition. And of course meeting with great communities within the community, like Infosec Girls and Infosec Ninja Girls. What else could be missing?
And then came the Nullcon party / dinner, in one of the best setting you could have, rivaling other security conference parties globally with a great security community crowd to fuel it till late and making it one of the best experience for all to even get closer and get to truly know each other.
Did we mention this was in Goa? Oh wait, yes, we did – check out the pictures!
