  • VB2018 Small Talk: An industry approach for unwanted software criteria and clean requirements

    The constantly evolving threat landscape poses challenges for security vendors. But an equally big, if less reported, challenge is that posed by the kind of software that lives on the border between what is acceptable, and what isn’t. A number of vendors have recently got together in an attempt to align industry approaches and to…

  • VB2017 paper: The (testing) world turned upside down

    Few subjects are as hotly debated within the security community as the testing of security software. Virus Bulletin has been at the core of many of these debates, both as a company with two decades’ worth of experience testing security software and as a facilitator through the Bulletin and our conference.

The ‘Small Talks’ take place in a smaller room (hence the name) and last longer than regular VB2017 talks, thus giving a more informal atmosphere to allow for discussion and…

  • VB2017 preview: Calling all PUA fighters

    While a lot of attention is focused on the fight against advanced malware, a different kind of threat is providing just as big a headache for security companies: that of apps (often free ones) whose behaviours sit right on the limits of what is acceptable from a security point of view. The “better safe than…

  • Small Talks return to the Virus Bulletin Conference

    VB2015 was the 25th Virus Bulletin conference and, to celebrate the occasion, we added a third stream to the programme. Dubbed “Small Talks”, these talks were longer than those on the regular programme and took place in a smaller room, which allowed for a more informal discussion. Various subjects were covered, ranging from targeted attacks…
