Since 2018, the event has been steadily drawing
together a diverse community of industry professionals: cybersecurity
specialists, developers, engineers, independent researchers, lecturers, and students.
Select speakers address the most recent developments in the cyber threat
landscape and explore the application of emerging cybersecurity
technologies.
In addition to expert talks, attendees can
join workshops and engage in interactive experiences. They can try their hand at searching
for vulnerabilities, take part in hack quests, get a permanent tattoo,
and customize their badges with some soldering. The badge concepts change year
to year, so a full collection is quite something to boast
about.
Traditionally, the conference will be hosted
offline, without a live stream.
In 2022, OFFZONE welcomed more than 2,000 participants, while in 2023 the number
of attendees exceeded 2,500. This year, we have limited the amount of tickets
to 2,500 since we want to keep the original cozy atmosphere
of the event. It’s really great to see OFFZONE evolve into a vibrant
hub that attracts the cybersec community. Sure enough, the conference is becoming
a key industry event of the year.
OFFZONE 2023 featured 108 experts and 8 thematic
zones. The keynote speaker was Omar Ganiev, an ethical hacker and DeteAct
founder. The event was supported by 50 partners: 18 media outlets,
15 community groups, and a range of organizations (Sber, Tinkoff,
Kaspersky, Sovcombank Technologies, and others).
