With the rapid development of the information security market, annual information security conferences around the world have sprung up. However, corporate information security experts with urgent schedules can only choose to participate in a small number of high-quality security conferences, the following are the top-level security conferences recommended by Tripwire in 2016, which are compiled by WITKEY security as follows:

We did a survey last year. What are their "2016 New Year's wishes" for security experts? Some of the security experts said they wanted to provide a list of security events worth their attention in 2016 so that they could cooperate and communicate with like-minded people at these famous Security Conferences.

We believe that security meetings are the best starting point for cooperation and communication. These meetings are essentially the best time for security practitioners to share their latest findings and experiences in research, or to gather together to discuss hot topics.

With this in mind, we listed 11 top conferences in the Information Security Industry in 2016. We hope that everyone with similar intentions and abilities can attend these top events.
