Cybersecurity

Virus Bulletin 2012 is now over, the final chapter from this years conference needs to be written.

One of the things I don’t like from conferences is when there are two talks you want to attend scheduled at the same time. And this is what happened to me in VB2012.

Greetings from Dallas, Texas, where the anti-malware industry is meeting for the 22nd edition of Virus Bulletin.

The mobile Pwn2Own challenge at this year’s EuSecWest conference highlights the limitations of anti-exploit mitigations and confirms the need for a separation of work and play on mobile devices.

The Nordic Security Conference on Iceland is now over, and i must say that it was an amazing conference with several top notch presentations from both local and international researchers.

On 20th and 21st of August we had our 2nd Latin American Security Analyst Summit here in Quito, Ecuador.

Greetings from the IDC Security Roadshow in Johannesburg, South Africa!

Probably the two most important security conferences in the world are held in Las Vegas during the same week, gathering more than 15,000 attendees and offering dozens of talks.

Defcon 2012 marked its 20th anniversary with unexpected speakers, some pretty tough content, and the cultural dark magic that buzzes the conference every year.

BlackHat USA may have been wrapped up for the year but DEFCON is in full swing. I didn’t stay around for DEFCON though, which means I finally have some time to reflect on BlackHat.

The Blackhat 2012 keynote started the event with Shawn Henry, former Executive Assistant Director of the FBI, painting a grim, seemingly unspeakable picture of cyberespionage in the US.

There are just 11 days to go until the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympic Games in London. With the games fast approaching, now’s a good time for us to issue a gentle reminder about security.

I am now back from the Kaspersky conference: Security For The Next Generation, the International Cup 2012 which took place in the Netherlands.

At the recent SOURCE Boston conference, one presentation that caught my attention was called SexyDefense – Maximizing the home-field advantage.

Dan Geer’s fantastic Keynote Speech kicked off Day 2 of SOURCE Conference Boston this morning. The talk itself was heady and complex, something to keep up with.
