Microsoft's Blue Hat Conference

Posted by samzenpus on from the protect-the-collective dept.

SecureThroughObscure writes "ZDNet Zero-Day security blogger Nate McFeters got an exclusive look at the Microsoft Blue Hat conference. This is an invite-only conference that few media get to attend, but apparently McFeters was brought in with co-worker Rob Carter to talk about some vulnerabilities they had discovered with a few product security teams in attendence, and was also asked to do a guest blog posting about the conference at the Microsoft Blue Hat blog. McFeters also included several pictures of the conference and after conference events."

    hmm... nope, can't think of a joke.

    This is worst than the third time Janeway took the borg head on by becomming a drone... probable but highly unlikely. One would think that a company that boasts itself in the media as much as Microsoft does for being an open book enterprise, that one of their Vulcans would give them a more logical approach. Think about it...

    The Blue Hats match the blue screens you see.

    What users are you talking about? This is conference internal to Microsoft, with speakers invited (mostly) from Black Hat conference. It is limited to full-time employees ("blue badges") hence - BlueHat.
