Welcome to COSAC - Conferencing the way it should be!
For almost 25 years COSAC has delivered a trusted environment in which to deliver information security value from shared experience and intensive, productive, participative debate and development. Sales content is strictly prohibited and there is no vendor exhibition to distract from opportunities, allowing delegates to focus on professional innovation.
The Call for Papers for our 25th annual event in Ireland is now open. View our 2017 agenda to gain an understanding of the value COSAC provides for attendees.
You are invited to submit proposals for premium quality papers to be presented at the 25th COSAC Information Security Conference & SABSA World Congress. COSAC’s conference agenda is selected by a committee of previous attendees who look for special content: unique, thought-provoking, innovative strategies and methods, research or case-studies that reveal real challenges and inspirational solutions.
The deadline for submissions is 15th March 2018
For full details please download our cfp form and return completed submission to [email protected]

I felt like I met a family I didn’t know I had.
Totally incredible! The greatest event I ever had the privilege to attend.
The most energetic, provocative and interactive event, anywhere.
More interactive, more interesting, more valuable than any other conference.
Wonderful conference. Stimulating sessions. Enormous fun.
Welcoming; challenging; thought provoking; relevant; simply first class.
A conference reinvented the way a conference should be. I can never miss this again.
More intimate than a conference, more caring than a family. I have never experienced such passion to solve problems.
Yet again it was stimulating, interesting and challenging.
Words cannot convey how good this conference really is.
So much food for thought, I’m stuffed full & I have definitely over-eaten. This is the best conference I’ve been to, by far.
