Five Tracks Across One Day
The conference agenda spans CXO conversations, original research, hands-on hacking, partner showcases, and a dedicated women in cybersecurity track.
Industry Track
CXO round tables, fireside chats, leader conversations, and panel discussions on security strategy at scale.
Original Work and Research
Paper presentations selected through CFP, plus Tools Forge showcasing open source contributions to the cybersecurity space.
Hands-On Track
Workshops, villages, capture the flag competitions, and quizzing for hands-on practitioners.
Showcase Track
Cybersecurity startup showcases, presentations, recognition, and partner solution demos.
Women Track
Talks by women speakers, women-only panel discussions, career guidance, and a women-only CTF.
Training Sessions
Pre-event hands-on training on the latest topics in cybersecurity. Separate registration required.
Backing the community that backs the practice
BSides Bangalore is the kind of community-driven event the Indian cybersecurity ecosystem needs. Founder-led, practitioner-focused, and built around real research rather than vendor pitches. The 1200 plus attendees who showed up to past editions came for original work, hands-on training, and unfiltered conversations between researchers, founders, and CXOs. That mix is rare.
The W3-CS partnership matters too. Most cybersecurity conferences in India are vendor-heavy and skew male. BSides Bangalore makes deliberate space for original research and women-led tracks. That changes who shows up and what gets discussed. Less pitching, more practice.
Cybersecify is a Bengaluru-based founder-led pentest and security consulting firm. Both co-founders are practitioners. Rathnakara leads offensive security (OSCP, CompTIA PenTest+). Ashok leads compliance and consulting. Backing the local community that produces the next generation of practitioners is part of how we want to grow this market the right way. Trust over authority. Long-term over short-term. Community over corporate.
