The end of HITB? No, it's a level-up
AFTER more than a decade being a fixture on the calendar for the world's leading security professionals and researchers, the upcoming Hack In The Box (HITB) Security Conference (HITBSecConf) taking place this October in Kuala Lumpur is being billed as the last.
Is this truly the curtain call for this Malaysia-born annual information security conference that has made its mark on the global stage?
“No, we’re still here, we’re not going anywhere!” quipped HITB founder and chief executive officer Dhillon Andrew Kannabhiran during an interview with Digital News Asia (DNA) earlier this year. To be precise, HITB is shifting things around. The HITBSecConf brand will now call Europe its home while for Asia, a new conference brand will be introduced in 2015 and beyond: HITB GSEC.
