[FD] [CFP] Speak About Your Cyberwar at PHDays VI

[Alexander Lashkov <ALashkov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

​Positive Hack Days VI, the international forum on practical information 
security, opens Call For Papers (http://www.phdays.com/call_for_papers/​;). Our 
international program comittee  (http://www.phdays.com/program/review-board/) 
consisting of very competent and experienced experts will consider every 
application, whether from a novice or a recognized expert in information 
security, and select the best proposals.

Now, more than ever before, cybersecurity specialists are being asked to stop 
sitting on the fence and choose a side — competitive intelligence vs DLP 
systems; security system developers  vs targeted cyberattacks; cryptographers 
vs reverse engineers; hackers vs security operations centers. A new concept 
(http://www.phdays.com/press/news/43550/) of PHDays VI is designed to show what 
the current vibe is in information security.

We want researchers to speak about the real dangerous threats and possible 
consequences. We also expect developers and integrators to give real answers to 
these threats rather than  to talk about empowering security technologies. Come 
and share your experience at PHDays VI in Moscow, May 17 and 18, 2016. 

Your topic can revolve around any modern infosec field: new targeted attacks 
against SCADA, new threats to medical equipment, vulnerabilities of online  
government services, unusual techniques to protect mobile apps, antisocial 
engineering in social networks, or what psychological constitution SOC experts 
have. In addition, this year, we are planning to discuss IS software design, 
development tools, and SSDL  principles.

Our key criteria is that your research should be unique and offer a fresh 
perspective on hacking, modern information technologies, and the role they play 
in our lives.

If you have something interesting or surprising to share, but none of the 
formats are suitable for your participation, please apply anyway and be sure we 
will consider your work. 

The first stage of CFP ends  on January 31, 2016. Apply now — the number of 
final reports is limited.

In 2015, the forum brought together 3,500 participants. In 2016, it is expected 
to see 4,000 attendees: information security leaders, CIO and CISO of the  
world's largest companies, top managers of giant banks, industrial and oil and 
gas producing enterprises, telecoms, and IT vendors, representatives from 
different government departments. 

Positive Hack Days featured a variety of distinguished participants including 
Bruce Schneier (the legendary cryptography expert), Whitfield Diffie (one of 
the inventors of asymmetric  cryptography), Mohd Noor Amin (IMPACT, UN), 
Natalya Kasperskaya (CEO of InfoWatch), Travis Goodspeed (a reverse engineer 
and wireless enthusiast from the U.S.), Tao Wan (the founder of China Eagle 
Union), Nick Galbreath (Vice-President of IPONWEB), Mushtaq  Ahmed (Emirates 
Airline), Marc Heuse (the developer of Hydra, Amap, and THC-IPV6), Karsten Nohl 
(a specialist in GSM engineering), Donato Ferrante and Luigi Auriemma (famous 
SCADA experts from Italy), and Alexander Peslyak (the creator of the password 
cracking  tool John the Ripper).
