The Black Hat Briefings '00, October 24th- 25th Amsterdam |

Speaker materials are now on-line. Please visit the speakers section. Year 2000, the Black Hat Briefings are coming to Europe! The reality is, they are out there. Lurking in the shadows of your companyâs firewall or in the depths of your WAN, waiting to compromise your infrastructure and access your companyâs most vital information. The best defense is to arm your staff with the tools and knowledge they need to thwart these shadowy adversaries. The choice is yours. You can live in fear of them. Or you can learn from them. The Black Hat Briefings, one of the leading computer and Internet security conferences in the United States, brings its unique blend of cutting-edge computer experts and ãundergroundä security specialists to Europe in Amsterdam for the first time this fall. Well-established in the U.S. with yearly briefings since 1996, Black Hat launched its first international conference this past spring with the Black Hat Asia Briefings held in Singapore. The Black Hat concept will now be tailored to accommodate European business needs. Black Hat presents practical security information, without the intrusive vendor pitches that may hamper presentations at other security conferences. The speakers at Black Hat are vendor-neutral experts in their field who concentrate on providing concrete technical details designed to arm your staff with the latest insight into todayâs security issues, giving them the knowledge they need in order to defend your companyâs infrastructure. Prior to the Black Hat Briefings the Black Hat Trainings on specific topics are taking place on October 23rd. The conference and training will be held entirely in English. |

| Spanning two days, the Black Hat
Briefings will focus on the vital security issues facing organizations
with large enterprise networks and mixed network operating systems.
Speakers will include leading security professionals with extensive practical
expertise, researchers and those who know the "Underground". They
will address the topics of Windows 2000 Active Directory security, X.25,
network object security, defense against distributed attack, advanced buffer
overflow techniques. Windows NT security as well as Unix network
configuration issues will be covered. You will learn about techniques
applied by hackers and the methods to combat against them.
The Black Hat Briefings conference series is designed to assist computer professionals in developing a better understanding in order to defend their computer and information infrastructures against potential risks. During the conference, we will assemble a group of vendor-neutral security professionals in the same room and let them talk candidly about the problems businesses face by current security threats and concrete solutions they see to those problems. No gimmicks, just straight talk by people who make it their business to explore the ever-changing security space. A strong way to counter security threats is to stay in communication with others, exchanging experiences and ways of counteraction. Supporting this idea, an informal reception at the Radisson SAS Hotel Bar will be held on the 23 October 2000 starting at 7 P.M. At this cocktail reception, you can meet other Black Hat Briefings participants, making contact with personnel from different companies that share your background and concerns, as well as the conference presenters. The following eveining will be a more formal reception with food and drink. These receptions are a tradition to any Black Hat Briefing Conference and has always provided a strong kickoff to the conference festivities. The first day of this yearâs Briefing in Amsterdam will finish with a dinner evening for everyone. Again, the exchange on security issues can be intensified. Discussions with the speakers that began in the conference sessions can be continued in a more casual atmosphere. Achtung :
