The Los Angeles Chapter of the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA-LA) invites you to partner with us at our Fifth Annual Information Security Summit, “The Growing Cyber Threat: Protect Your Business!”  The Summit is the premier Information Security event in Southern California. Last year we drew 500 people, and our goal for this year is 700.

 

The Summit offers information systems and information security vendors a very high-value marketing opportunity. By taking advantage of Summit and meeting sponsorships, your products and services get associated in the marketplace with ISSA-LA’s leadership; this enhances the market’s perception of you as an industry leader in the 18th largest economy in the world — Los Angeles County. 

 

We have many different sponsorship levels designed for every type of budget, including a set of premier sponsorships that include the full Summit attendee list. The top level sponsorships also bring with them an opportunity to address the full audience.

Government in bed with Communications Corporations

It is now illegal for wireless customers to purchase and unlock their cell phones! We know that George Orwell's and Aldus Huxley's visions of the future have unfortunately come to pass, but this is getting ridiculous and outrageous. http://tinyurl.com/ahpzo67

Oracle, what the hell are you doing to us with Java? Be merciful, and hire some really good analysts. This cannot continue. And, what is the deal with trying to sneak the Ask Toolbar into our Java updates? You're acting like rogue software companies. Enough is enough!

• • Top Ten Web Defenses

  We cannot “firewall” or “patch” our way to secure websites. In the past, security professionals thought firewalls, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), patching, and privacy policies were enough. Today, however, these methods are outdated and ineffective, as attacks on prominent, well-protected websites are occurring every day. Website developers must learn to code in a secure fashion to have any chance of providing organizations with proper defenses in the current threat-scape. The session will provide specific tips and guidelines to make website code both low risk and less vulnerable.
