Bellua Cyber Security Asia 2006
Workshop: 28 - 29 August 2006
Exhibition and Conference: 30 - 31 August 2006
Venue: Jakarta Convention Center, Indonesia
From 30th to 31st August 2006, the second annual information security & hacking conference in Asia took place in Jakarta, Indonesia at the Jakarta Convention Center.
Bellua Cyber Security Asia 2006 was endorsed by the Ministry of Communication and Information of Republic Indonesia.
The conference was hosted by Bellua Asia Pacific and organised by Pacto Convex.
For the second consecutive year in Indonesia, the conference put together various number of internationally recognized experts in the security community as well as leading members of the Indonesian technology and security industry.
The conference helped add depth and understanding of security issues in the public sector: technical challenges facing the public authorities as well as providing a secure public infrastructure.
The event was opened with the Minister of Communications and Information, Bpk. DR. Sofyan Djalil, delivering his keynote speech.
Over 400 delegates and visitors attended the conference, with coverage from a large number of media outlets from the region.
Over 35 speakers from numerous disciplines joined Bellua Cyber Security Asia 2006 to discuss present and future information security issues through an intensive series of workshops, presentations, demonstrations and technical sessions.
APEC is a region which accounts for approximately 45.8% of the world's trade. Managing this trade is more and more dependant on ICT. Information Security has to be looked at as a strategic issue. For example, the establishment of the ASEAN single window will require each participating country to be completely in control of their information infrastructure. This will necessarily mean addressing issues such as information sovereignty and ownership.
This year is really important for security, BS7799 has been replaced by ISO IEC 27001, the International Standard for Information Security Management System. Business are starting to understand that throwing money blindly on security quick fixes won't work without creating business processes to support and improve security. This conference will help to encourage you to think about formulating a security strategy that will ad value to your business, rather than addressing IT Security purely as an IT department issue.
The conference talks was spread across 2 concurrent tracks focusing on both business and technical aspects of information security.
The business tracks focused on the challenges of securing an organization from a process approach.
We had some exclusives for this second edition of BCS, Philippe Langlois released a SCTP/SS7 hacking/security_assessment tool, Jim Geovedi & Raditya Iryandi presented for the first time their talk on hijacking and hacking satellite connections (VSAT) and Don Bailey "North" disclosed several zero-day kernel vulnerabilities.
