The goal of the BlueHat Redmond conference is to educate Microsoft engineers and executives on current and emerging security threats, to help them address security issues in Microsoft products and services and protect customers. The BlueHat Redmond conference often serves as a great opportunity for invited security researchers to informally connect with Microsoft engineers who are passionate about security, furthering a bidirectional exchange of ideas at the event.
Who attends?
BlueHat Redmond is open to all Microsoft employees, and a small number of hand-picked external attendees from the security community. The external invited guests are comprised of a multinational mix of professionals involved on a daily basis with security work including security researchers, members of security response teams, MAPP partners, and current and past BlueHat speakers.
To the external community, BlueHat is by invitation only―not because there aren't a slew of diverse minds who wouldn't be excellent participants and speakers, but because there is a limited capacity and the BlueHat Planning Team looks to people who are exploring areas we're interested in or who need to be brought together for strategic networking to fill these spots.
Who presents?
There is no BlueHat external Call For Papers. Speakers internal and external to Microsoft are invited to submit papers on a case-by-case basis based on what's cutting edge and relevant in security and privacy to the current Microsoft threat landscape.
The security research community presenting at Microsoft BlueHat consists of individuals contributing to thought leadership in many security-related areas, to name a few:
Threat Landscape
Web application security
Mobile/Wireless devices
Cloud and Virtualization
Penetration testing and fuzzing
Architecture flaws
Network design and compromise
Reverse engineering
Exploit development
Intrusion prevention
Cryptography
Lions and tigers and bears

BlueHat Kickoff! When the idea of the first BlueHat was conceived, a mad brainchild of an idea to invite hackers behind the walls and bring their experience, expertise, and participate in the security entity that is Microsoft, no one thought past the “let’s make sure we pull this off successfully”. We had no idea of the impact that little ol’ security conference could and would have 6 years later as it has grown into an annual multi-day event, international forums, and a force in the internal and external security science space. Andrew shares his perspective on the evolutions, lessons learned, and thoughts about the future of BlueHat and security challenges at Microsoft.

You Spent All That Money and You Still Got Owned???? This talk will focus on practical methods of identifying and bypassing modern enterprise class security solutions such as Load Balancers, both Network and Host-based Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPSs), Web Application Firewalls (WAFs), and Network Access Control Solutions (NAC).
