Interplay of reputation, malware, and social networks. The phenomenon of malvertising seems to show that the problem cannot be solved by any one party. In other words, how can reputation and social networks be used to expose and combat malware?

P@P Workshop Notes

This was a highly interactive workshop that allowed academic, corporate practitioners, and researchers to challenge each other’s ideas and find areas of common interests.

The most fascinating story for me is on the development of the DLP market when people did not think such a need existed. Now DLP is one of the fastest growing segments in the security industry.

Drop me a note if you want a copy of the workshop’s output.
