Sponsorship of COSAC APAC 2026
The SABSA Institute is a proud sponsor of COSAC APAC 2026 Information Security Conference which will take place in Melbourne, Australia from 24th to 26th 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, Zika Milenkovic as well as the late John Sherwood and Matt Whelan.
COSAC Security Conferences are designed to push boundaries and ideas in Cybersecurity, Privacy, Compliance, Governance, Risk, Business-Driven Security, Architecture, Technology, Cloud, AI, Zero Trust 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 2026, you will find:
- The 6th COSAC APAC Security Architecture Design Off led by Jason Kobes and William Schultz – a repeat favourite in the spirit of a hack-a-thon for Security Architects to apply their skills in a safe environment. This competition has 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 COSAC APAC International Round Table Security Forum led by John O’Leary: The 2026 session of the Forum will address a Pandora’s box full of new information security issues in a world where older issues won’t stay buried.
- Building an AI Fast Track Agent led by Dr Malcolm Shore: In this workshop, we will take a hands-on approach to understanding agentic AI, and step by step build the datasets and tools we need to augment an AI model with a modicum of SABSA expertise.
- Many other timely, relevant, valuable, and unique presentations and workshops where attendees can interact and challenge ideas, concepts, methodologies, and approaches.
The COSAC APAC 2026 schedule is available online here.
