February has been both very interesting and busy! On February 17th I had the pleasure of collecting the first award of VULNEX by Spanish security magazine Red Seguridad for IT Innovation for our collaboration with DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency of the Department of Defense, USA) which produced BinSecSweeper, a technology that allows us to verify the security posture of any binary.
You can find a great chronicle of the event here and below I am including a photo of the trophy 🙂
On 24-28 February I did attend for the first time the legendary RSA USA conference in San Francisco, in which I participated with a talk on security in software development and using BinSecSweeper to assess binaries entitled: “Writing Secure Software is hard, but at least add mitigations!“. I take this opportunity to thank attendees for the good feedback, I’m glad that so many liked my presentation! And of course also thank the organization for a great event.
The presentation is already available on VULNEX website.
It was my first time at RSA USA but certainly won’t be the last! In my opinion a must-attend event for all cybersecurity professionals.
Until next year!
