BlueHat v10: A Security Odyssey
The primary objective of the BlueHat Conference Series is to build bridges between Microsoft developers and executives, key security program partners, and members of the security research community while educating the greater Microsoft population on security threats and mitigations.
This year's conference builds upon the momentum of past events by showcasing how individual strategies can intersect to offer substantial benefits and positive-sum outcomes. We are looking to demystify global and regional security threats, and to create channels for productive information exchange on common threats that affect all the players of the security ecosystem.
BlueHat v10 again brings leading external security researchers to campus to present timely and lively presentations that showcase ongoing research, state-of-the-art hacking tools and techniques, and emerging security threats. Our main themes for BlueHat v10 focus on predators of the security ecosystem, next-generation infrastructure, risks associated with mobile technologies, and the web browser landscape.

Browser Hacks, Design Flaws, & Opt-In Security
There are a number of design flaws that plague browsers, and the challenge in fixing them tends to be the unwillingness to "break the Web." This puts security designers in the position of making security opt-in choices, and few if any developers and users do because they don't know the real...
