This post will be about Vulnerability Management and conferences. I look at the lists of cyber security conferences and I feel bad about it. Specialized conferences are mainly about SOC, DLP, AntiFraud, cryptography. Conferences with broad topics are aimed mainly at C-level executives or hardcore offensive specialists. Conferences are usually very regional. Of course, there are events organized by VM vendors, but their marketing goals are clear and there are usually no CFPs (Calls For Papers) at these events. In our covid times, it has become much more difficult to attend offline events.
It would be great to have our own international event dedicated exclusively to Vulnerability Management. From the community (in a very broad, global sense) and for the community. For interesting content and development of horizontal connections between people, not for marketing.
What I would like:
1. Completely online event.
2. No regional specifics, something emphatically neutral as a formal location.
3. All presentations in English. It is impractical to waste resources on translation.
4. All papers should go through CFP and program committee voting.
5. Invite speakers/bloggers from VM vendors, researchers, developers of open source utilities and content.
What about money?
It seems to me that such a completely online event could be held without a budget at all. We can stream it to YouTube or Twitch and add people to the stream via Zoom or Skype. If there will be a relatively small number of participants, we can do it entirely in Zoom, which is even easier. For those who will not be able to connect because of technical reasons (and this is inevitable), it will be possible to add their performances in the form of video recordings, and discuss it in comments section on Youtube.
