Security Conference held this week, Windows 7 into focus

This week, Hack In The Box Security Conference (HITB) hacker security conference will be held in Dubai, cross-host network security, Windows 7 vulnerability and Conficker will be discussed at the conference Focus.

Chris Evans, head of Google’s security department, said in an interview: “We have spent a lot of time researching cross-host cyber attacks in online applications. But because of the current browser, browsing We are basically unable to do anything about the plug-ins and the flaws in the online application itself."

The conference will also discuss security vulnerabilities in Windows 7 and the most recent Conficker worm. However, due to the impact of the financial crisis, there were only 85 participants in this conference.

The HITB conference will be held on Wednesday and Thursday and will be announced by Mark Curphey, head of Microsoft's security department.
