The 7th International Conference on Malicious and Unwanted Software "The Americas" (Malware 2012 The Americas) will be held at the Waldorf Astoria El Conquistador Resort, Fajardo, Puerto Rico, USA, October 16-17, 2012. This year, and after an extremely successful conference in 2011, the steering committee has decided to expand our reach by hosting two Malware conferences. Malware 2013 Asia Pacific in June 2013, and Malware 2012 - The Americas to be held in the same location as last year’s conference at El Conquistador Hotel & Resort, Fajardo, Puerto Rico, October 2012.
This year’s conference will pay particular attention to (and will also be extensively discussed in several panel sessions) the pressing topic of “Defending the Extended Network …What happened to the walls?As Smartphones become the preferred access device, while applications and data reside at multiple locations in the Cloud, the idea of protecting “the network” and the end-point (a Windows device) is no longer practical. A paradigm shift is upon us, and protecting both application and data in a world of billions of Smartphone devices is intriguing and challenging. Clearly, there is no longer a network to protect. Further, the concept of an extended network has significant limitations. In the new paradigm what is emerging is the concept a “Trusted Domains” with no physical boundaries. Thus, the organizers of Malware 2012 solicit original written contributions addressing these issues and research questions. Manuscripts focusing on the security properties of “Trusted Domains”, Cloud Computing, and the risks associated with the deployment of such computing paradigm, and the analysis of real incidents where a breach has occurred will be particularly welcomed.
