"ESET is a proud sponsor of the Virus Bulletin conference - the major anti-virus industry event of the year. The high standard of the presentations, the exceptional organisation, and the opportunities for networking that a VB conference offers are second to none." "The anti-virus industry has evolved, grown and grown-up over the last years, and Virus Bulletin has been there, providing an independent platform for information exchange, and keeping us all honest with its rigorous approach to testing. It is testament to the high standing of the annual Virus Bulletin Conference in the industry that it is so widely supported, not only by the anti-virus community, but also by those in the related fields of security and crime prevention." "By offering a vendor neutral forum in which ideas and research can be presented, and in which debate and challenge can occur, Virus Bulletin has done more to promote the cause of anti-virus than any other single entity. It is for this reason that ESET has consistently supported and participated in the VB Conferences, and is honoured to stand alongside the other companies in this industry in doing so."
