Panda Security Insight

After the success of the Security Blogger Summit we organized last year in Madrid, we have decided to run a second edition of the event this year. This year’s summit will be focused more on end-user security, with the idea of directing the conversation towards conclusions that will help us improve security awareness among the public. This focus is the result of a series of conversations we have had with bloggers, opinion leaders and above all, with many of those who were present at last year’s event and who have given us much good advice (thanks to all of you!).
  
Participants include, among others, Brian Krebs, Kurt Weismer, Marcelo Rivero, Joseph Menn, Alejandro Suárez Sánchez-Ocaña, Javier Sanz, Marc Cortés, Yago Jesús and one of two other surprises, which for the moment we are not revealing.

We’ll be taking a look at the main threats and trends for 2010, and evaluating whether we are really doing all that is necessary to ensure we are more secure and particularly, that we avoid becoming the victims of fraud, with all the harm that entails. Similarly, we will be discussing legislation, collaboration between countries, the limits of privacy… And of course, we’ll talk about the specific action that can help us towards the dual goal of improving security and increasing end-user awareness.

We want the Summit once again to be a meeting point that encourages reflection, the exchange of opinions and experiences… and also for people to have a good time among others who, whether for professional or personal reasons, have a keen interest in security issues. We have set up a Twitter profile to follow the event in real time so that those attending (and others) can offer questions or comments. In addition to producing videos summarizing the highlights, we are also looking at offering video streaming of the event.  Keep an eye on the Security Blogger Summit Web page  in order to follow it through video streaming if you can’t make it to Madrid.

Last year’s summit was more like a meeting of friends, albeit a somewhat numerous gathering, and we hope to achieve the same atmosphere this year. You’ll find more information on the Security Blogger Summit Web page, where you can also sign up to attend the event. We look forward to seeing you!
