Welcome to TROOPERS!

Troopers16 will be the ninth edition of the great IT-Security Conference, where the world's leading IT-Security experts and Hackers present their latest research.

Troopers provides a networking platform for Security interested people from all over the world and enables security folks from the industry, academia and the research community to exchange knowledge and talk about their work.
