Forwarded from: Luiz Eduardo <le (at) ysts.org> Hello ISN readers, the call for papers for Silver Bullet 2011 is opened! Silver Bullet 2011 - Information Security Event - Call for Papers http://www.sbconference.com.br November 12th & 13th, 2011 Sao Paulo - Brazil About: Silver Bullet will bring together well-known professionals, enthusiasts and beginners in all things related to information security. Two tracks covering, but not limited to, technology (building and breaking), development, management, social aspects and others. The diversity in topics discussed is just one of the unique characteristics of the event; vendors will have a space to present their ideas (in the form of talks or demos), lounge room dedicated to networking of the participants. All of this with the high-standards of the founders of the renowned conference: you sh0t the sheriff, which just had its 5th edition in this past May. Why another security event? The concept that you sh0t the sheriff has been delivered was really well accepted, but very unique, unconventional and expressive to the community. Due to these unique factors, some limitations of space and time wouldn't allow us to grow as the market has demanded, and, the security ecosystem in Brazil is really broad, comprised of many segments and experience levels. With this, the talks should vary from really technical techniques to end-user awareness on how to use social networks. In short, picture a bigger YSTS, with an additional day, an additional track and more space. That is what Silver Bullet is. The first edition of Silver Bullet will be held at Centro Fecomercio de Eventos, in Sao Paulo City, on November 12th & 13th, 2011. Paper Submissions: Anything related to information security may be submitted, and the review board will be responsible for picking the most relevant papers to the conference format.
