WELCOME MESSAGE
AAVAR Chairman
Welcome to the 21st Association of Anti-Virus Asia Researchers (AVAR) International Conference 2018 to be held in Goa, India. The conference is Asia Pacific’s largest anti-malware event and hosted
At a time when the malware threat has reached epidemic proportions, AVAR’s mission is to thwart its proliferation and mitigate its impact. With a membership base that spans 17 countries, AVAR is well equipped to step up its contribution to the world of secure computing.
As malware attacks shift gears and become more stealthy and lethal, the AVAR conference provides an avenue for the who’s who in the security industry to strategise and strengthen defences collaboratively. I firmly believe that AVAR 2018 will further enhance the international and inter-organisational exchange and cooperation that has made a significant contribution to advancing these defence strategies.
I look forward to meeting you at AVAR 2018 in the picturesque state of Goa.
