BSides Ballarat 2026
Feedback from BSides Ballarat was overall very positive, people really enjoyed attending a cybersecurity conference in Ballarat. This encourages us to move forward with more cybersecurity conferences in Ballarat. The 2026 conference will be held in the Emerging Technologies Hub (ETH), the same great presentation space the we used for BSides 2025.
Cybersecurity is a fascinating and rapidly expanding field with a scope the includes enthusiasts, commercial security and national security. While many conferences are held in the capital cities, regional areas often miss out. BSides Ballarat aims to build the cybersecurity community in Ballarat, especially in younger age groups. BSides Ballarat will focus on the following cybersecurity topics.
- Getting started in your cybersecurity career,
- Practical cybersecurity projects,
- Cybersecurity games,
- Understanding security architectures,
- Understanding the cyberworld of attackers and defenders,
- Capture the Flag contests.
