BlueHat 3 just completed last week, and all I can say is WOW. Great speakers. Great presentations. Packed audience. You can read the session abstracts and speaker bios here to see what I’m talking about.
OH! I should introduce myself. Where are my manners? I’m Kymberlee Price, a Security Program Manager at Microsoft. The organizational taxonomy of where I work at Microsoft is kind of crazy* - the short explanation is that I’m in an engineering group that is responsible for product security across Microsoft - both products we have and haven’t shipped yet. When I’m not busy planning BlueHat, I do a variety of things to help Microsoft developers and external security researchers connect and learn from each other with the ultimate goal of providing a more secure computing experience for users.
Of course no one person can plan a three day conference on their own - I work with a team of great people who you will also see here on the BlueHat Blog. Over the coming days we’ll be posting our reflections on BlueHat 3 as well as photos and links to podcasts and channel9 video from the event. And we sincerely hope that our BlueHat 3 speakers (and BlueHat 1 & 2 speakers) will post their comments to the site as well and share their BlueHat experience with you.
