Every professional in the area of information security knows the importance of strengthening and growing the area. The focus for this growth may be directly linked to collaboration, communication and more unity of these professionals for this year 2016.
To achieve this goal, information security professionals will need to internalize these words (collaboration, communication and unity) and inject them into their relationships with each other. But how can we set this process in motion?
At conferences They are a great starting point. In fact, these events are perfect for security teams and professionals to share research, discuss new topics, and exchange learning.
With this in mind, we provide you with a list of top 11 conferences (first internationally organized in alphabetical order) of the information security industry for 2016.
Soon we will make available the national conferences and events.

True to Valladares' description, BSides is a community-driven framework whose events incorporate discussion, demonstrations, and interaction into most of their technical presentations, thereby promoting collaboration and conversation among security professionals.
“I would have to say BSides is my favorite because it's a lot of fun, it's very affordable, and it's accessible almost everywhere,” says Alexandre Cox, SANS certified trainer and technology leader in Systems Engineering for Tripwire.
