Billington CyberSecurity is pleased to announce that Eugene Kaspersky, whose company uncovered the Flame cyber weapon, will deliver an exclusive keynote address at the 3rd Annual Billington Cybersecurity Summit slated for September 27 at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. Kaspersky’s keynote address, will be his first keynote speaking engagement in the United States since the Flame discovery. Kaspersky is the Founder and CEO of Kaspersky Lab, the world’s largest privately held vendor of endpoint protection solutions. Flame is a highly sophisticated attack toolkit said to be 20 times the size of Stuxnet.

In his address, you’ll hear him speak to the significance of Flame and the latest, emerging threats in cyberspace. Kaspersky’s insights will focus in on the latest advanced persistent threats that seek to undermine critical energy, finance, telecommunication, and government cyber network infrastructures worldwide, and what company IT professionals can proactively do to prepare for the potential onslaught.

According to Kaspersky, Unlike with conventional weapons, the more developed countries are actually the most vulnerable to cyber warfare and cyber-terrorism, and the only way to mitigate this threat lies through international collaboration. Cyber warfare has been one of the most serious concerns for IT security professionals for several years now, especially after the discovery of Stuxnet and Duqu. Flame raises these concerns even higher, proving that cyber weapons can be used against any country, further demonstrating the need for increased global cooperation.”

Kaspersky will join a growing and highly distinguished lineup of confirmed speakers including John C. (Chris) Inglis, Deputy Director, National Security Agency; General Michael Hayden (Ret.), Former Director of the CIA and NSA and Principal of the Chertoff Group, and more than 20 other top-level cybersecurity insiders.

Thomas K. Billington, CEO of Billington CyberSecurity, said of Kaspersky’s appearance, “We are honored that Eugene Kaspersky has chosen our 3rd Annual Cybersecurity Summit to deliver this exclusive address to a U.S. audience. The discovery of the Flame virus, following the identification of Stuxnet and Duqu, underscores the theme we selected for this year’s summit – enhancing the security of critical infrastructure. He serves as the perfect complement to the distinguished cyber experts we’ve already recruited for this forum.”
