About CyseCon 2026

Practical Cybersecurity
Conference

CyseCon 2026 is a hands-on cybersecurity conference where theory meets practice. Powered by Digital Safety Network, we bring together security professionals, ethical hackers, incident responders, and cybersecurity enthusiasts for intensive practical training and real-world simulations.

Learn by doing!! Participate in live penetration testing exercises, defend against simulated cyber attacks, investigate security incidents, and master the latest cybersecurity tools and techniques through interactive workshops and hands-on labs.

CyseCon introduces a gamified multi village cybersecurity experience. In the “Hack the Bank, Defend the Bank” scenario, the Red Team attempts data exfiltration while the Cloud village mitigates IAM misconfigurations, OSINT gathers intelligence, AppSec patches vulnerable APIs, DevSecOps deploys secure builds, and the GRC Village develop policies. Participants collaborate and compete inside a live cyber defense environment.
