Join us for Global Security Bootcamp Adelaide 2026, a free, full-day, in-person community event for anyone passionate about protecting modern digital environments.
Hosted by the Global Security Community Adelaide Chapter, this event brings together security practitioners, Microsoft professionals, cloud architects, consultants, IT teams, students, and community members for a day of practical learning, local connection, and real-world security discussions.
Building on the success of the Perth 2025 event, the Adelaide Bootcamp will focus on the challenges organisations are facing right now: securing identities, defending endpoints, detecting threats, governing data, managing cloud risk, preparing for AI-enabled attacks, and building resilient security practices across Microsoft environments.
Adelaide is the perfect place for this conversation. South Australia has a growing cyber ecosystem across government, defence, space, health, education, critical infrastructure, and emerging technology. This Bootcamp is designed to bring that community together, share what is working in the field, and help strengthen the cyber capability of our local organisations.
Expect practical sessions, demos, case studies, technical deep dives, and lessons learned from people who are building, defending, governing, and improving Microsoft-centric environments every day.
Whether you are deep in Microsoft Sentinel, rolling out Defender XDR, designing Conditional Access policies, uplifting Essential Eight maturity, securing AI adoption, or just looking to meet others in the Adelaide security community, this event is for you.
Come for the content. Stay for the community. Leave with ideas you can take back to your organisation on Monday.
