• Publication and Event Details: "Wired", the more optimistic sister publication of Ars Technica, is holding a security conference on October 20. The one-day conference is in Canary Wharf, London. It features security experts, policy makers, and former spooks who will explore, explain, and predict new trends in various security fields.
