Security B-Sides
Various Cities
Springing up in the shadow of larger, fatter, richer security
shows like RSA and Black Hat, the Security B-Sides is more like a
security-focused salon than a traditional conference. A movable feast of some
of the top security minds, it combines rapid fire presentations on threats and
exploits with a loose, flexible organization and venues that range from high tech (Microsoft’s New England Research and Development (NERD) Center in Boston) to “direct to DVD” (an unoccupied mansion on the outskirts of ‘Vegas).
