About Syscan

The Symposium on Security for Asia Network aims to be a very different security conference from the rest of the security conferences that the information security community in Asia has come to be so familiar and frustrated with. SyScan is a non-product, non-vendor biased security conference. It is the aspiration of SyScan to congregate, in Singapore, the best security experts in their various fields, to share their research, discovery and experience with all security enthusiasts in Asia.

This two-day symposium will be held in a relaxed and informal atmosphere, allowing all participants to enjoy themselves whilst expanding their knowledge on information security.

Aside from the speakers' presentations, there will also be specialized security training courses in SyScan’07. These classes will be held before the main conference.

SyScan’07 will be held in Singapore at the Swissotel Merchant Court Hotel. The main conference will be held on 5th and 6th of July and the training will be held on 3rd and 4th of July, 2007.
