Central Plains Chapter Meeting:

 

"Security & Ethics in eBiz", Larry Canup, CISSP

 

In the old days, most computer systems were rather isolated.  Today, we see systems that need to access hundreds of other computers on the network, many times with untrusted "partners" and using a wide variety of technologies.  We also have many different ways of getting to a given system: dialing in, via the internet, direct-connected links, wireless LANs, VPNs, or via an e-mail message.  We really "do" need to worry about the system as a whole,  sometimes both ours and our business partner's. For example, if we encrypt all of our information on the machine are we safe?  Of course not!  Someone could simply penetrate into our system environment and erase our information or our information that resides on our partner's system.  Someone could compromise our encryptions keys, and so on and so on...  To protect the system, we need to make sure that the weakest links are protected.

 

This presentation and discussion forum will focus on policy, governance, and ethics issues and will likely lead us to discussions regarding privacy regulations, principles, and "enforcement" structures.   We will also touch

on familiar topics such as the importance of secure architectures and secure system development life cycles as means to deploy our "Security Arsenal" in an effective manner.

 

 

 



    

    

  

The Information Systems Security Association (ISSA)® is a not-for-profit international organization of information security professionals and practitioners.  It provides education forums, publications and peer interaction opportunities that enhance the knowledge, skill and professional growth of its members. We hope the ISSA will provide a chance to interface with other IT professionals and further your awareness of security practices and technologies.

 

This meeting is open to the general public with no expectations of membership.
