Event report 2026
There was a time when humans were the weakest link in cybersecurity. Today, humans are increasingly removed from the loop as AI agents make decisions, react, and even attack faster than manual operations can handle.
BSides Hanoi 2026 adopts the NoHuman theme to drive practical discussions about control, enforcement, and secure operations in highly automated systems.
When humans are no longer in the loop, who is in control? This question anchors the event narrative, from defensive strategy to newly published research and field case studies.
BSides is a global community cybersecurity movement that started in Las Vegas in 2009. BSides Hanoi 2026 continues that spirit with independent content governance, technical depth, and open peer exchange.
- Quality and objectivity in content selection. Content is chosen by an independent program committee comprising reputable information security experts from Vietnam and abroad.
- Sponsors participate but do not influence the content of the program.
- All operational processes are transparent and fair.
