Congratulations to Jaco Swanepoel who was voted as the best speaker for BSides Joburg 2026. Jaco's talk "SocVel Live : The CISO's Gambit" was a live strategy simulation where Threat Intelligence sets the scene and the audience drives the response.
We always knew BSides Joburg was helping move the cybersecurity community forward. Apparently some of last year's gears made it all the way from Johannesburg to Las Vegas. ⚙️😏 Nice badges, @defcon !
