SECURITY CONFERENCES
Last week, I mentioned an article in CIO Magazine that discusses several ways to hire and keep security personnel. The article suggests that companies can retain staff by offering incentives such as letting employees attend yearly training conferences. A lot of security conferences and seminars are available, and the number of new events continues to grow. The cost of such events isn't cheap, and determining which events to attend isn't always easy. This week, I describe three of the more popular choices: the NetSec conference, the Black Hat Briefings, and SANSFIRE training seminars.
NetSec 2002
Computer Security Institute (CSI) hosts NetSec 2002, which takes place in San Francisco June 17 through 19. The conference will offer more than 85 sessions on a wide variety of subject matter, including Internet and intranets, secure e-commerce, VPNs, computer crime, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, forensic investigation, response teams, cryptography and public key infrastructure (PKI), intrusion detection, Windows NT, privacy, policies, awareness, remote access, and more. In addition to the learning tracks, an exhibition will feature products from more than 70 network security vendors. Just about anyone involved in network security should consider attending NetSec 2002, and CSI is expecting more than 1500 attendees this year.
