By invite only, eBay is aiming to set up its own security conference.
From PC World:
EBay plans to host its own security conference next February, called “Red Team eBay.”
The conference will be held on eBay’s campus here in San Jose, and will take a cue from Microsoft’s Blue Hat event, said eBay Chief Information Security Officer Dave Cullinane. It will be invitation-only, where security team members can meet and exchange ideas with industry experts. But unlike Blue Hat, the conference will be open to attendees from other companies.
In fact, this will be the second Red Team conference hosted by eBay. Earlier this year eBay quietly held its first Red Team conference, drawing participants from about 100 companies, Cullinane said. “This time I may make it a little smaller,” he said Wednesday in an interview at the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) AppSec 2007. “It was literally 90 percent of Silicon Valley and most of the banks.”
I’ll keep an eye on the mail box for my invite.
