2025 COSAC APAC Melbourne
Sponsorship of COSAC APAC 2025
The SABSA Institute is pleased to announce that we are sponsoring the COSAC APAC 2025 Information Security Conference which will take place in Melbourne, Australia from 25th to 27th February. The agenda includes a full SABSA Stream across three days as well as a non-SABSA stream. The SABSA Institute was formed at the COSAC Security Conference by TSI Founders David Lynas, John Sherwood and Zika Milenkovic.
COSAC Security Conferences are designed to push boundaries and ideas in Cybersecurity, Privacy, Compliance, Governance, Risk, Business-Driven Security, Architecture, Technology, Cloud, AI and more. These conferences are unique in that they have tracks dedicated to SABSA and highly exceptional because there are limits to the number of attendees, an absence of vendors and sales pitches, and frequent challenges of speaker ideas by attendees in a collegial and safe environment.
At COSAC APAC, you will find:
- The Security Architecture Design Offs: repeat favourites in the spirit of a hack-a-thon for Security Architects to apply their skills in a safe environment. These workshops have been specially created for individuals with various skills and experiences to work as teams, and while only one team gets to win, everyone who participates stands to gain invaluable insights and experiences.
- The SABSA Institute (TSI) Forum: where TSI and the TSI Liaison Group (LG) update. The TSI Forum includes a Question-and-Answer session and an opportunity to meet and interact with the TSI Board of Trustees (Directors) and LG members. This is a great platform to find out more about TSI’s activities to benefit members as well as volunteer opportunities.
- Many other timely, relevant, valuable, and unique presentations and workshops where attendees can interact and challenge ideas, concepts, methodologies, and approaches.
The COSAC APAC 2025 schedule is available online here.
COSAC is a fantastic way to introduce colleagues to SABSA and to also witness and experience how SABSA is being applied by other individuals and organisations. COSAC also now has a Patron programme that provides unique access to register for upcoming Patrons only events and access to exclusive content.
