BlackHat Europe 2012 Day #3 Wrap-Up
And this is already the last day! My first choice for today was the talk of Andrey Belenko and Dmitry Sklyarov: “Secure Password Managers” and “Military-Grade Encryption” on Smartphones: Oh Really?. They presented their research about the security of keyword managers on smartphones. It’s recommended to not use the same password

And I’m back with my wrap-up for the second day. Here are a review of the talks I followed today.

BlackHat Europe 2012 Day #1 Wrap-Up
BlackHat is back in Europe and, this year, they moved back to Amsterdam! This edition also introduced a new format: A three-days conference with three simultaneous tracks.

Quick ISSA-Be Meeting Wrap-Up
Quick wrap-up about the last ISSA-Be chapter meeting… Wim Remes (@wimremes) was on stage to speak about visualization and his project to join the (ISC)² board. In our world (information security), we collect a lot of (technical) data. How to present them in an efficient way to manager or non-techies?
RSA Conference Europe 2011 Wrap-Up
This is my wrap-up of the last RSA Conference which occurred in London. As usual, it’s a mix of t-shirts and ties. But, vendors followed the rules of the game and came with less promotional material for their next-top-ultra-last-generation-solution-to-beat-all-hackers-from-outer-space. As usual, the first half-day was dedicated to keynotes with great
