Nullcon Secures Strategic Investment from ISMG.

New Delhi: Asia's largest hacking and cybersecurity conference Nullcon on Thursday announced that it has secured a strategic investment from US-headquartered Information Security Media Group (ISMG). Through this investment, ISMG has picked up a majority stake in Payatu Technologies, the parent company of Nullcon.

The funds will be used to further execute Nullcon’s business strategy of building stronger industry partnership, community involvement, and global expansion. Nullcon currently hosts annual Information Security conferences in Goa, India and Germany.
"This investment from ISMG will enable us to bring Nullcon’s grassroots community to a global stage including in the US, enhancing visibility for our sponsors, community, and researchers alike. While researchers will gain a larger visibility for their work through ISMG’s global media outlets, sponsors will equally benefit from enhanced visibility, and our attendees will have more opportunities to connect with senior industry executives, thanks to ISMG’s strong relationships with CISOs and other C-suite leaders globally," said Antriksh Shah, Co-Founder of Nullcon.
Founded in 2010 by Antriksh Shah, Aseem Jakhar, and Murtuja Bharmal, Nullcon has registered a 20% year-on-year growth over the past three years.
Previous Nullcon conferences have served as a venue for many creative projects leading to groundbreaking work in discovering telecom encryption vulnerabilities, Indian Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) hacking research and several other infosec research projects. Nullcon Goa counts an Indian government Intelligence Agency as its sponsor.
The conference's audience profile includes 70% hands-on cybersecurity professionals, 20% senior decision-makers, and 10% next-generation security professionals. Additionally, Nullcon trains over 800 professionals yearly, equipping them to secure critical infrastructure for organizations worldwide through its specialized training programs.
