This week is taking place one of the main antivirus related conferences: Virus Bulletin. Hundreds of people, from different security companies, antivirus testers from around the world, people from law enforcement, universities, big companies, etc. are meeting in the beautiful city of Vancouver, in Canada. The keynote will be given by my colleage Nick Bilogorskiy, from Facebook, who will talk about the threats they “face“ and how they do combat them. Just after that, Pedro Bustamante (Panda Security) will be talking about Mariposa. The duration of the talks has been shortened to 30 minutes, including questions, we’ll see how it works.The full program can be found here, with a lot of interesting talks covering all kind of threats, though cybercrime is one of the main topics:

We are having some other meetings, as the WildList reporters meeting, but one of the most important is the Table Soccer IT World Championship. Representing Spain, Pedro and myself will try to emulate the current Spanish team, who won the last Football World Championship 🙂
Here you can enjoy some beautiful views you can find in this city:
Panda Security specializes in the development of endpoint security products and is part of the WatchGuard portfolio of IT security solutions. Initially focused on the development of antivirus software, the company has since expanded its line of business to advanced cyber-security services with technology for preventing cyber-crime.
