            | As a leading global forum on computer and information systems
              security, the National Information Systems Security Conference
              seeks to: 
               bring together information security and technology
                professionals from industry, academia, and government; provoke debate, dialogue, and action on major information
                security issues for today and tomorrow; educate the IT community on major information security
                issues and solutions; promote demand and investment in information security
                products, solutions, and research; challenge the IT community to provide solutions, research,
                and applied technology that are usable, inter operable,
                scalable, and affordable.  To improve the conference and increase its focus, our program
