CRESTCon UK Community Event: Pentration Testing

A full day on penetration testing from CREST, the accreditation body for the technical security industry, at IET Birmingham: Austin Court on Cambridge Street. CREST Focus Group chair Boglarka Ronto hosts. The format is practitioner tech talks plus structured networking, pitched at both people early in an offensive security career and experienced testers. AI runs through the whole programme as a theme: where it is proving genuinely useful to incident response, SOC and pen test teams, where the limits are, and what that means day to day. Tickets were around 17 pounds and sales have now closed. Why go: one of the very few days in the Midlands where offensive security practitioners compare notes in a room rather than on a forum. Best for pen testers, red teamers and security engineers who want the tooling conversation first-hand.
