Experts will talk about the most important and emerging security threats at the 13th annual BlueHat conference Thursday and Friday. The closed conference is for Microsoft developers and executives, but Microsoft’s Security Response Center will be sharing “glimpses” from the conference on the BlueHat Blog and via the hashtag #BlueHat on Twitter.
This year’s BlueHat will start with a focus “on the threat landscape, learning about determined adversaries to help us defend our own network and assets, and tools to detect and mitigate attacks,” writes Katie Moussouris, senior security strategist for the Microsoft Security Response Center, on the BlueHat Blog.
Microsoft Technical Fellow Anders Vinberg will open BlueHat’s first track, “Threat Landscape,” and FireEye security company’s Zheng Bu and YiChong Lin will walk participants through “the techniques of the average and not-so-average targeted attacker, and show us ways to detect and combat the adversary.”
Some of the world’s top experts also will talk about devices and services, “from low-level hardware to Web services, to help us build products, devices, and services that are more secure from the ground up.”
Moussouris provides an overview of the speaker lineup for BlueHat v13; you can read her full post on the BlueHat Blog.
