From ComputerWorld:
Microsoft Corp. is working on plans to make a recent hacker meeting held on its Redmond, Wash., campus a twice-yearly event, according to a spokesman for the vendor’s security group.
The company plans to host another Blue Hat security event in the fall, though no specific date has been set, Stephen Toulouse, a program manager in Microsoft’s security unit, said yesterday.
“We’re looking at doing this again in the future,” he said of the two-day event, which was held in March. “As we continue to engage with security researchers, we’ve become more comfortable getting into these face-to-face interactions with them.”
