JSAC2027

Overview

A conference for security analysts hosted by JPCERT/CC, where frontline malware analysts, forensic investigators, and incident responders from Japan and abroad share hands-on findings. Launched in 2018, it marks its 10th anniversary in 2027. The event stays strictly in-person with no online streaming, and it is free to attend but capacity-limited, so early registration matters.

Program

• Jan 19-20: Training Days with three parallel courses (cloud security, malware analysis A and B), requiring separate registration from the conference; Japanese only, laptop required
• Jan 21-22: Conference Days with talks (20 or 40 min), hands-on workshops (120 or 240 min) and lightning talks; talks have Japanese-English simultaneous interpretation
• In person only, no online streaming

Speakers from past editions

• Chi-en (Ashley) Shen (Palo Alto Networks Unit 42, 2026 speaker)
• Hideyuki Furukawa (2026 speaker)
• Masaomi Masumoto (2026 speaker)
