About BSides Oklahoma

What is BSides?

Security BSides is a community-driven framework for building events for and by information security members. Since 2009 it has changed the face of InfoSec conferences around the world, with over hundreds of events every year. BSidesOK is the Okie’s twang’ on this Security BSides thang’.

BSidesOK strives to be an open and inclusive platform that gives security experts and industry professionals the opportunity to share ideas, insights, and develop long standing relationships with others in the community. It is a rare chance to directly connect and create trusted relationships with key members of the information security community.
