Re: informIT: Building versus Breaking

Steve,
  I think that the problem we have here is classic - defense isnta sexy. I think you could get DHS to sponsor one 
maybe? I think between some government funds, and some vendor support you'd be OK on costs, but the larger question of 
whether people would come... only time would tell.

While I'd like to see Black Hat add some more defensive-minded tracks, I
just realized that this desire might a symptom of a larger problem: there
aren't really any large-scale conferences dedicated to defense / software
assurance.  (The OWASP conferences are heavily web-focused; Dept. of
Homeland Security has its software assurance forum and working groups, but
those are relatively small.)

If somebody built it, would anybody come?
