Chinese and foreign Internet experts will gather in Beijing next month for an annual meeting to introduce and share the latest cybersecurity technologies and methods.

The National Computer Network Emergency Response Technical Team Coordination Center (CNCERT) announced Thursday that its 2018 conference would be held from Aug. 14 to 16, featuring lectures, forums, a simulated cyber-attack-defense competition, and training.

The conference is also expected to select and award some of the best cybersecurity products and technologies developed in China over the past few years, CNCERT said.

CNCERT is a professional organization specialized in developing technical responses to cybersecurity threats. The CNCERT annual conference has been held since 2004.
