Abstract

Security conference programme revealed.

Following a bumper crop of submissions, the VB2010 conference committee is pleased to announce the programme for VB2010 in Vancouver.

Presentations cover subjects including: botnets, cyberterrorism, blackhat SEO, targeted attacks, Mac threats, anti-spam testing, anti‑malware testing, in-the-cloud scanning and more.

Later in the year a selection of ‘last-minute’ technical papers will be added to the programme – these presentations will be selected just three weeks prior to the start of the conference to allow for up-to-the-minute material.

VB2010 takes place 29 September to 1 October 2010 in Vancouver, Canada. Delegates who register before 15 June will benefit from early bird discounts on the subscriber and non‑subscriber rates. The programme can be viewed at http://www.virusbtn.com/conference/vb2010/programme/.
