BlueHat Kickoff!

with Andrew Cushman

When the idea of the first BlueHat was conceived, a mad brainchild of an idea to invite hackers behind the walls and bring their experience, expertise, and participate in the security entity that is Microsoft, no one thought past the "let's make sure we pull this off successfully". We had no idea of the impact that little ol' security conference could and would have 6 years later as it has grown into an annual multi-day event, international forums, and a force in the internal and external security science space. Andrew shares his perspective on the evolutions, lessons learned, and thoughts about the future of BlueHat and security challenges at Microsoft.
