Plenary Talks

The Malware Oscars Chas Tomlin, Team Cymru  
This talk will take a look at some of today's more common malware and the effect it has on end user systems.
The Myth of Vulnerabilities in Software Ed Gibson, Microsoft UK  

Despite the mutating threats of cyber attacks, online extortion, or spam, a well-structured information security strategy can safeguard your business and ensure that risks are managed with commitment and understanding.  Given the current economic times customers need that little bit of extra assurance they are taking the rights steps to protect their electronic landscape from Insiders, Harvesters, Social Engineers, Organized Criminals and State Sponsors.  But as the internet is not territorial or jurisdictionally bound our real world responses to increasingly sophisticated attacks are not as effective.  So who do you trust?  Using examples from his 20 year career as an FBI Special Agent (including the most recent 5 years when he was assigned as a Diplomat to US Embassy London in charge of the FBI's UK and Ireland cyber hi-tech investigations) Ed Gibson will describe why he believes Microsoft is the only company with the necessary global reach to change the online security posture of the Internet. He brings security alive and makes it personal. 

Social Networking: A new frontier for malware, spam and identity theft Graham Cluley, Sophos [PDF]
Financially motivated hackers are increasingly exploiting social and business networks (i.e., Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and LinkedIn) to seize computers, commit identity theft, and install malware on victims' PCs. This talk covers how attacks have evolved, how social networking sites are trying to defend against exploitation, and what companies and people can do to protect themselves.
IT and High Performance Computing at Renault F1 Graeme Hackland, Renault F1 [PDF]
In 2008, the ING Renault Formula 1 Team invested in a 38TFlop supercomputer to contribute to the Team's key performance area of Aerodynamics. Find out how the ING Renault Formula 1 Team achieved what Bob Bell, Technical Director, described as "a rarity in large-scale projects these days - delivery on time and under budget".
