Global Fujitsu Distinguished Engineer

Soya Aoyama

Message

In the 20 or more years since joining the company, I have worked to develop Windows software, NDIS drivers, Bluetooth profiles, WinSock applications, and the like. Since 2014, I have worked in cybersecurity research, mainly into attack methods that use Windows dll files, and I have given talks at hacker conferences around the world.
Also, as part of my activities outside the company, I held the BSides Tokyo international security conference.
I organize BSides Tokyo, the information security conference every year.
