Join us in San Jose, CA, on April 27, 2010, for the 3rd USENIX Workshop on Large-Scale Exploits and Emergent Threats. Now in its third year, LEET continues to provide a unique forum for the discussion of threats to the confidentiality of our data, the integrity of digital transactions, and the dependability of the technologies we increasingly rely on. LEET aims to be a true workshop, with the twin goals of fostering the development of preliminary work and helping to unify the broad community of researchers and practitioners who focus on worms, bots, spam, spyware, phishing, DDoS, and the ever-increasing palette of large-scale Internet-based threats.

The complete program and registration form will be available here in March 2010.

Just announced! LEET '10 will feature two invited talks:

• Why Don't I (Still) Trust Anything?
  Jeff Moss

  Jeff Moss has spent the last 17 years as founder and director of Black Hat and DEF CON, two of the most important security conferences in the world. Moss is uniquely qualified with his ability to bridge the gap between the underground researcher community and law enforcement, between the worlds of pure research and the responsible application of disclosure. As a result, Moss speaks frequently before a wide range of audiences on the topic of computer and information security. In 2009 Moss was appointed to the U.S. DHS Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC) to provide advice and recommendations to the Secretary on matters related to homeland security. Prior to Black Hat Briefings, Jeff was a director at Secure Computing Corporation where he helped establish their Professional Services Department in the United States, Asia, and Australia, where he performed security assessments of large multi-national corporations. Jeff has also worked for Ernst & Young, LLP, in their Information System Security division. Jeff graduated with a BA in Criminal Justice from Gonzaga University.
