Representatives of the Hungarian IT Security sphere united to create an independent forum that represents the interest of all role players and users of the market. The Day of IT Securty (ITBN) has become much more than that: the expo is a place for innovations and new products to announce, the event hosts the introduction of the first opinions and statements of important sector organizations and authoritoties of the country. Everyone who matters is part of the event now: IT Security experts, auditors, CSOs, vendors and their represnetatives, organisation decision makers, consultants, distributors, financial and company managers and IT procurement professionals nearly 2000 attendees.

ITBN project started at the end of 2004. At the first ITBN in 2005 the number of the attendees and the market role players opinion validated the importance of such an event. The next ITBN in 2006 proved that the event has its share in the Hungarian event market offering and also defined its way confirming its goals. ITBN 2007 showed a real mirror to the market, all major role players were supporting the association. The number of attendees has grown to 800.
