Cybersecurity

Creating positive attitudes towards learning about IT security

I am trying to find at least one sign written in English. In 20 minutes, I have to be in the Keio Plaza hotel, in which the BlackHat Japan conference takes place this year.

I’ve just returned from Budapest, after attending and presenting at the Information Security Day (ITBN) conference.

Once in a year, Kaspersky Lab organizes a security roundtable in Munich, Germany, followed by a visit to the Oktoberfest (probably Germany’s most famous festival).

Here’s wishing EICAR success in its next 16 years as a forum for anti-malware professionals.

Yesterday Defcon was winding down, the lights were being turned off, and the feeling of electricity among the participants was palpably less than at the beginning of the event.

I’m in Las Vegas to attend the BlackHat USA Briefings and Trainings, 10th Edition.

A full week before the G8 summit begun in St. Peterburg, Kaspersky’s own Virus Analyst Summit – the fourth edition – took place in Moscow, at the company’s new office.

CeBIT is coming to an end, and as always it’s been interesting.

While the situation with the weather hasn’t gotten any better, the atmosphere at BlackHat is still good.

Greetings from snowy Amsterdam, where the 2006 Europe Black Hat Briefings and Trainings are taking place.

A very important and worthwhile InSafe initiative starts today. Dubbed ‘Safer Internet Day’, the initiative is designed to raise awareness of cyber threats.

Hello from Tianjin in China, and the AVAR 2005 conference. This year’s conference is the eighth annual event for virus analysts from the Asian region, and it’s one of the highlights of an antivirus researcher’s calendar.

We at Kaspersky Lab heartily support the ‘Get Safe Online’ campaign, since user education is a key element in computer security. Here are some of our pointers for safe computing.

Every once in a while we have a meeting for all the people in the company analysing viruses and reasearching security threats called “The Analyst Summit”.
