KazHackStan 2026 is gaining momentum - Call for Papers is now open!

This year, we’re taking a broader view of cybersecurity. Our focus is on cyber resilience. It’s not enough to simply defend yourself - you need to be able to withstand attacks and recover quickly, while remaining technologically independent.

This year’s tracks:
⮕ Government & Business Day – how to develop digital sovereignty strategies and ensure the cyber resilience of critical infrastructure at the enterprise and national levels.
⮕ Secure Development & Hack Day – how to use the latest ethical hacking techniques and bug bounty experience to identify hidden attack vectors and significantly strengthen system defenses.
⮕ AppSec & DevSecOps Track – how to integrate in-depth security checks at all stages of the development lifecycle and monitor the integrity of software supply chains.
⮕ Reverse & Malware Track – how to conduct in-depth technical analysis of malware behavior and effectively counter the current tactics of modern hacker groups.
⮕ OSINT & Forensics Track - how to apply advanced open-source intelligence methods and conduct competent investigations to reconstruct the chain of events.
⮕ Hardware Track - how to identify and eliminate vulnerabilities at the hardware, microcontroller, and IoT device levels, laying the foundation for a trusted infrastructure.
⮕ CyberSecurity Trends Track - how to adapt security strategies to the conditions of widespread AI adoption, using neural networks to monitor threats and repel automated attacks.
