Announcement of HITCON Pacific, CTF and Community 2016

One of HITCON’s missions is to organize a high quality information security and hackers’ conference in Taiwan.

We started from community, but we think the conference should be organized for everyone who is interested in information security. Since HITCON 2014 (the 10th anniversary of HITCON), we have started organizing HITCON Enterprise for enterprises, infosec experts, vendors, and government.

In 2016, we renamed HITCON Enterprise to HITCON Pacific to give the conference a new mission - to be a significant information security event in Asia Pacific region. Not only the conference, the HITCON CTF Final will also be held with HITCON Pacific.

Following is the schedule of this year’s HITCON Pacific, CTF, and Community:
