A few testimonials regarding DefCamp:
Paul de Souza:
Romania’s National Cyber Security Strategy has a clear focus on a high degree of resilience and confidence. The Defcamp conference in Bucharest, Romania, brings together brilliant minds from the regional cyber security communities with a focus on how to create the appropriate synergy and learning environment where the audience can collaborate, learn, and integrate capabilities in support of Romania’s cyber security efforts to create a safer cyberspace for all. Romania’s GDP growth has a positive outlook with a steady growth rate, making Romania an attractive country for technology investors.
Gabriel Mihai Tanase:
Gathering both Romanian and foreign speakers, the conference provided various IT Security topics, all technical, without commercials, opportunities to learn from valuable presentations, some going beyond theory and detailing real situations developed from completed projects. I highly recommend this conference!
