LDS (Latvian School of Computer Networks) is the most important information technology forum in Latvia, which has been held twice a year since 1997. This year, on May 27-28, Latvian leading cyber security and network infrastructure specialists met for the 49th time. LDS49 took place in a hybrid format with an interactive online broadcast to remote participants. More than 300 participants attended the event.

We thank the conference participants, lecturers, representatives of IT manufacturers, and independent IT experts for productive communication and open discussions on current IT topics.

For the first time, the Trend Micro Capture the Flag competition took place within the LDS. Participants were able to put their knowledge and skills on targeted attacks, IoT, artificial intelligence, and other cyber security issues to the test.

We want to thank Check Point Software Technologies, Aruba Networks, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Veeam, Trend Micro, Veritas, VMware, Fortinet, and many other leading cybersecurity vendors who are among the conference's main sponsors.

Very soon - on September 30 this year, we invite everyone to the anniversary LDS50 conference!
