Hosted by the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC), BlueHat is where security researchers and responders from both inside and outside Microsoft come together as peers to exchange ideas, experiences, and learnings in the interest of creating a safer and more secure world for all.

Over the course of two days, the BlueHat conference will facilitate discussions on thought leadership related to the vulnerability and mitigation space. Attendees will gain insights into emerging security threats and techniques, new and novel research findings, calls-to-action for the security community, and much more.

If you would like to attend BlueHat please use this form to register your interest. All registration requests are reviewed, and either approved or declined at MSRC's discretion, based on the information supplied in this form.
