#BCD2024

Every year we make a prediction to the number of vulnerabilities we expect to see published by NVD. We define this as the number published between New Year’s Day in 2023 to New Year’s Eve 2023, which is not the same as CVE’s that begin with 2023 as an identifier.

WHEN: Monday, March 25 through Wednesday, March 27, 2024.

LOCATION North Carolina State University, McKimmon Center 1101 Gorman Street Raleigh, NC, 27606

We are seeking individuals to submit abstracts for talks, panels, birds-of-a-feather sessions. Any interested persons can submit no later than January 31, 2024.
