Security Goings On

[Josh More]

Since some folks on this list like technical security, I wanted to
point folks towards three events happening soon. Yes, I am speaking
at them all, so there's some self-promotion involved... but I wouldn't
be sharing them here if I didn't think that they'd be worth some of
your time.


1) University of Iowa IT Security Day - Wednesday, October 20th - Free
Overview: Presentations on hacking, web security, forensics, law
enforcement and threat overview

2) Infragard Annual Meeting - Wednesday, October 27th - $30 for
Infragard members, $45 for non-Infragard members (includes lunch)

arguments and get budget.

If you are interested in professional development and making the leap
to a higher pay grade, this is meeting to attend. I have been deeply
involved in setting it up, and it's going to be AWESOME.
