BEIJING, Sept. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Following BlackHat
and DEFCON in Las Vegas, the
security industry shifts focus to Asia and rolls out another major event in
China during the last quarter of
the year. SyScan360 is bound to take place during October 21 and 22 in Beijing.
SyScan, also known as the Symposium on
Security for Asia Network, has
successfully hosted over 20 symposiums since 2004. The conference
joined partnership with Qihoo 360 and debuted in Beijing in 2012 as SyScan360, and has
been recognized as one of the most important security events in
Asia.
SyScan360 aims to be a highly technical non-commercial
conference, attracting world-renowned security enthusiasts and
experts to share their research and discoveries from various
fields. The event acts as a frame for sharing experts' unique
perspectives in various security topics and their applications in
this ever-changing technological field.
In the previous year, live cracking of a Tesla was demonstrated
during the conference. This year, vehicle security researchers,
Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek had confirmed appearance in the
conference. Miller and Valasek have been recently hired by Uber and
won wide attention in the last weeks for remotely hacking a Jeep
Cherokee.
In addition, security researchers Zhenhua Liu and Yannick
Formaggio will conduct a thorough security vulnerability
analysis on 'VxWorks', the real-time operating system widely used
in aerospace, automobile, and medical industries.
Their presence reinforces a line up of major security experts
that will be present this year, in the most international edition
to the date, as will also count with a major global sponsor such as
Microsoft. Individuals or groups with interest in participating
