We are excited to announce the
programme
for
VB2019
, the 29th International Virus Bulletin Conference which will take place 2-4 October in London, UK.
The conference programme features a mix of analyses of the threats that companies and organisations, nations and individuals are facing; of the tools and technologies used to analyse those threats; and discussions of the issues affecting the security industry as a whole.
The
opening keynote
address will be delivered by a senior representative of the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre. The NCSC is well respected among security practitioners for its clear, no-nonsense advice – the organisation’s unique perspective on the digital attacks facing the United Kingdom will well be worth hearing.
The conference programme also includes talks on nation-state actor groups such as
APT10
,
Machete
,
DNSpionage
and
Domestic Kitten
, as well as prominent entities within cybercrime like
Emotet
,
GandCrab
,
Ryuk
and the
Magecart
groups. Those interested in the fight against cybercrime should definitely attend the
talk
by the National High Tech Crime Unit of the Dutch National Police, which will present an insight into an ongoing and as yet unpublished investigation.
As always, the conference programme includes plenty of papers on research tools and methods, in which researchers will share their work to help the industry progress further. Talks also cover important subjects such as
medical IoT
devices and threats against the
maritime sector
, while there are also talks on the
mental health
issues facing those working in security, and on
child sexual abuse
material.

Registration
for the conference is now open and partnership options are still available. Additions to the programme will be made over the coming weeks and months, while a call for last-minute papers will go out in summer. The conference will also include a Threat Intelligence Practitioners’ Summit, details of which will be revealed in due course.
We’re still not sure whether the conference will take place inside or outside the European Union, but there is no reason not to
book a ticket
. We look forward so seeing you in London in October!
