CREST supports BSides Hanoi 2026 as Certification Sponsor

CREST is supporting BSides Hanoi 2026 as the event’s Certification Sponsor, helping to encourage professional development and recognise emerging cybersecurity talent in Vietnam.

BSides Hanoi is a community-driven cybersecurity conference bringing together security practitioners, researchers, technology leaders and students to exchange knowledge, share practical experience and strengthen connections across the cybersecurity community.

Returning for its second edition, the 2026 event will take place under the theme “No Human”, exploring the growing influence of artificial intelligence, automation and autonomous systems on cybersecurity. The programme will examine how these technologies are changing security operations, vulnerability research, digital trust and the way organisations protect increasingly automated environments.

Supporting cybersecurity professionals in Vietnam

As Certification Sponsor, CREST will provide CREST certification opportunities as prizes through the event, supporting participants as they develop and demonstrate their technical cybersecurity knowledge.

CREST certifications are recognised internationally and provide professionals with structured pathways through their cybersecurity careers. By supporting BSides Hanoi, CREST aims to help more practitioners in Vietnam access internationally recognised certification and connect with the wider global cybersecurity community.

The partnership also reflects CREST’s continued commitment to working with governments, industry, academia and professional communities across Asia to build sustainable cybersecurity capability and raise professional standards.
