This is hybrid event. You must get your in-person or online admission ticket from our Humantix page.
The security industry is growing fast—and getting loud. Every few month there’s a new hot trend, a new vendor pitch, a new self-proclaimed expert. But in all the noise, the real voices—the ones with hard-won experience and grounded insight—are getting drowned out.
This needs to change.
Introducing SecTalks Legends—a raw, real, no-fluff AMA (fireside chat) with the veterans who’ve walked the walk. We dig beneath the hype to explore what’s really going on in the industry, where we’re headed, and what we can do about it.
For our very first session, we're sitting down with Norman Yue—offensive security researcher at *** [need approval from employer] ***, long-time hacker, and community builder behind initiatives like Platypus. We'll explore his journey, hear his take on the current state of infosec, and ask the questions others won’t.
After RSVP, please ensure to get your admission ticket from Humantix: https://events.humanitix.com/shells-scripts-and-syn-floods-an-unfiltered-ama-sectalks-syd0x5d-93

# Speed hiring
There is an opportunity for potential employers to do an impromptu 60 second description of their open role. If you are interested, speak with one of the organizer before start of the session.
