Stop Cyberbullying – An International Conference

Hi. McAfee recently became a Gold sponsor of Stop Cyberbullying – An International Conference to Address Cyberbullying, Solutions and Industry Best Practices.

The conference, the
world’s first dedicated entirely to the issue of cyberbullying, will run for two days next week and is organized by Parry Aftab, a well known expert on cybersecurity issues.

McAfee sponsored this event because we support the work of Parry, Wired Safety and all the other parents and kids working together to fight this new incarnation of an age old problem. As a leading provider of computer security products - products that protect people from identity theft, harmful software and malicious websites, we feel we can be of service to help groups like Wired Safety bring the message home that cyber bullying is serious, pervasive, hurtful and even deadly.

I'll be blogging Tuesday's portion of the conference and look forward to sharing any advice, insights and news I gather at the event.


See you next week.
