Objectives

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.

Program Hosts:
Mr. Michael J. Jacobs
Deputy Director for Information Systems Security
National Security Agency

Dr. William Mehuron
Director, Information Technology Laboratory
National Institute of Standards and Technology


Conference Directors:
Mr. Lawrence G. Martin, CISSP

Greg Gage, USDA
Janice Green, General Services Administration
Research and Development Dr. Rayford B. Vaughn, Jr., Mississippi State University
Tutorials Karen Ferraiolo, Arca Systems, an Exodus Communications Company

Track threads will address the interests of the financial, business, academic, and government communities. Topics discussed will be directed toward:

  • Security professionals
  • Chief Information Officers
  • VP's and managers of engineering, R&D and technology
  • Information systems managers and analysts
  • System administrators
  • Network managers
  • Webmasters
  • Researchers
  • Electronic commerce community
  • All who are interested in securing information systems and networks

There will be opportunities for information sharing as well as new approaches for solving management and technical issues. The conference will contribute to your professional growth as you gain new insights and knowledge, in turn assisting in your information system security responsibilities. The formal sessions and social events will provide time to network with experts and peers across a wide spectrum of interests.

Information Systems Security Exposition (held in parallel)

A parallel exposition will provide a forum for industry to showcase information systems security technology and hands-on demonstrations of products and services that are potential solutions to many network and computer security problems. For exposition information, call AFCEA at (703) 631-6200 or send email to jspargo@aol.com.
