2019 Security BSides Orlando

Saturday March 30th, the 2019 Security BSides Orlando conference was held.  This is the 6th one, and the largest yet.  Believe they had over 700 in attendance.  As last year, it was held at Full Sail University's Live venue location. 

This year there were 4 tracks of speakers, along with several workshops and a CFT.  Several sponsors were in attendance.  No job track this year.

There was a book signing with the book Tribe of Hackers as there were 3 hackers from the book in attendance.

And there was an electronic badge again this year, but this time was a little more complex and programmable. 

No idea where next year's event will be, but will probably be tied to SANS Orlando again.

SFISSA Security Conference

On March 22, 2019, the South Florida ISSA held their biannual 2019 Security Conference.  This time the theme was "A New Year, a New Era of Cybersecurity".

The conference had 4 tracks of speakers, as well as a 2 hour workshop on your cybersecurity career.  A keynote address was given by Dave Aitel of Cygtera, and a CISO panel was held with 4 local CISO from different companies.

An array of sponsors were present as well.  Breakfast and lunch were provided, and everyone had a great time.

The next event of the chapter will be their annual Hack the Flag/Chili Cookoff held September 7th at FIU's Graham Center.
