Microsoft BlueHat Security Briefings: Fall 2008

The eighth edition of BlueHat will be held on October 16-17, 2008, at the Microsoft corporate headquarters. The Microsoft BlueHat conference is a twice-a-year event aimed at bringing internal Microsoft security professionals and external security researchers together in a relaxed environment to promote the sharing of ideas and social networking. The event highlights important emergent technologies, techniques, and industry best practices.
Sessions
BlueHat v8 will consist of two full days of great content from both internal and external security experts presented in a lecture theater environment. These presentations will offer speakers the opportunity to showcase ongoing research and collaborate with peers while educating and highlighting advancements in security products and techniques.
Day 1: Sessions will be a hybrid of content from deep-dive technical security issues to innovative techniques and best practices in the information security realm.
Day 2: Microsoft’s Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) team will host sessions emphasizing secure development and testing practices and how to develop with security in mind from the beginning of the software development lifecycle. The BlueHat SDL sessions will focus more on appropriate defense strategies and less on attack techniques. Sessions might include demonstrations of secure coding techniques or correct and incorrect methods of using various security tools.
