APNIC participated in Cyber Security Week 2015 in Colombo, Sri Lanka, from 2 to 6 November 2015.
Co-organized by Sri Lanka CERT|CC and the Information and Communication Technology Agency (ICTA), Cyber Security Week 2015 attracted more than 250 attendees representing ISPs, LEAs, and other CERTs/CSIRTs from around the region.
Held for the eighth time, the event featured a hacking challenge, four workshops and a cyber security quiz, all with the aim of sharing information, understanding emerging technologies and security issues, and forging security alliances. APNIC supported the event as a sponsor.
