About DefCamp
DefCamp started back in 2011 as a small infosec gathering among friends. Soon, the meetup became an event and, later on, the largest and most important cybersecurity and hacking conference from Central and Eastern Europe.
We are here so let’s Learn. Practice. Grow. Connect with the infosec community.
In 2019 we celebrated the 10th edition with 3 stages packed with interesting briefings & panel discussions for the 2000+ security experts, developers, decision makers, entrepreneurs, members of the academia and private and public sectors from all around the world.
In 2020 we had a COVID-19 break and for 2021 we moved fully online. In 2022, DefCamp returned onsite, in Bucharest. In 2023, it brought together almost 1,800 participants from over 45 countries. The turnout in such large numbers and the enthusiasm of the participants stood as a powerful motivation to continue strengthening the infosec community and creating a meaningful learning and networking experience.
On May 16th-17th 2024, DefCamp organized a first spin-off edition in Cluj-Napoca. Almost 400 infosec enthusiasts got together in one of the most important tech hubs in Romania to discuss cybersecurity.
Now, we are preparing for the 2024 edition with lots of enthusiasm and energy while we set up the logistics to meet once again with the community under the same roof, in Bucharest.

The road to becoming an infosec expert is paved with two things: constant learning and practice.
Why? Well, technology evolves and so do attack techniques, which means that all defenders must practice – a lot. We host regular CTFs and tournaments for different experience levels on CyberEDU to keep the community motivated and sharp. So, plan your infosec training and practice effectively.
