Mention “Virus Bulletin” to someone who doesn’t happen to be in the information security business, like the Lyft driver who took me to the airport a few days ago, and you realize it can sound like an odd name for an information security conference. However, if you’ve been going to Virus Bulletin for a while – my first time speaking at “VB” was in 1994 – it sounds entirely normal. You know that the name comes from a printed bulletin about developments in the world of computer viruses that first appeared in 1989, mailed by post from Oxfordshire in England. You also know that Virus Bulletin is an excellent conference, one in which serious research is front and center, surrounded by ample opportunities to network with fellow combatants in the fight against malicious code and other cyber-badness.
Virus Bulletin 2015, taking place this week in Prague, is shaping up to be the largest VB yet, and if you’re a regular reader of We Live Security you already know that quite a few folks from ESET are on the conference agenda (thanks to the gracious efforts of my British colleague, David Harley, particularly gracious since he is not actually going to VB this year, taking a break after presenting more than a dozen VB papers since 1997).
