CSI NextGen Security Summit
Featuring the CSI Computer Crime Survey

NEW this year: A full-day conference model

CSI's mission is working with security professionals to change the security game so it works. We're taking the conversation to the streets this summer with a special series of single-day events that we hope will provoke a new approach to security. We think these are the ones that matter. We think these are the technologies that anyone who cares about security needs to push, prod, and perfect.

NextGen Security Summit Venues

Too much security happens after it's too late. In response, the practice of security is changing—ideas are being reexamined, radically changing the balance between information security professionals and cyber criminals.

Join CSI's experts for an intense full-day summit on NextGen Security. The material we'll cover comes straight from editorial research that normally would be offered exclusively to CSI members.

We'll begin with the most recent information gathered from over 300 organizations of CSI members and attendees—the latest CSI Computer Crime and Security Survey (to be released in September). In its thirteenth year, it's the longest running, most widely quoted set of cybercrime statistics in the world.

From insight into the state of crime, we'll move straight to the heart of why and how top leaders in enterprise and government information security posts are rapidly reconfiguring the architecture of information security. We've boiled it down to the most effective presentations you'll find anywhere, because you're going to need to develop your strategy around four key technologies, sooner rather than later.

AGENDA AND SCHEDULE:

8:00 - 9:00 Breakfast and Registration

9:00 - 10:30 Framing the Next Generation of Information Security - Robert Richardson, CSI Director. This presentation will set the agenda for the day, plus offer exclusive insights into the latest CSI Computer Crime and Security Survey, just out for 2008.

10:30-11:30 Vendor Panel: Back of the Napkin Security

Get a low-key, back-of-the-napkin introduction to our sponsors. Just so everybody's on the same napkin (so to speak), we'll send out copies of Dan Roam's The Back of the Napkin both to you and to all our sponsoring vendors. Through exclusive interviews, never-before heard stories, and hundreds of sketches, doodles and chicken scratches, "The Back of the Napkin" explores the nature of visual thinking and success.

A special note: We're sure that there are plenty of good uses for PowerPoint, but at this event NO "murder by PPT" will be committed.

NextGen Technology Assessment

11:30-12:15

Web 2.0 App Security - If you think security hasn't had a seat at the table during design, then surely the wholesale redesign of the Internet offers an unprecedented opportunity to re-engineer security as we know it.

Can we afford to pass this by?

TBD

12:15-1:30 Lunch - It's NextGen hotel food! OK, it's not, but it'll be a decent meal and it's a great chance to meet colleagues in your city—your best contacts and peers are right here.

1:45-2:30	Identity 1.75 - Plenty of startups are working on what they like to call Identity 2.0. What they're up to may be revolutionary, but it's also completely disconnected from the world inhabited by enterprises and their Active Directory services. The trick is going to be getting enterprise directories migrated to a user-centric Internet identity layer—but in a way that immediately benefits the enterprise administrators who run the world's highest-value identity stores. Whether it's full-blown "2.0" or "next-gen" is less important than whether it gives us a way to create net-wide reputation and accountability systems.	Robert Richardson, CSI Director
2:30-2:45 Break
2:45- 3:30	NAC/TCG - NAC is part of a solution to a problem that Trusted Computing may have gotten so far in front of that people stopped listening. But whether you prefer NAC or want your trust embedded in hardware, the opportunities here are enormous.	Lisa Lorenzin, Trusted Computing Group and Juniper
3:30-4:15	Secure Virtualization - When we talk to CSI members who are engaged in data center virtualization products, almost half of them tell us that virtualization is as much of a security threat as it is a security advantage. When we look at actual deployments, we're startled to see whole memory images crossing networks in the clear, not to mention mission-critical proprietary servers stored as images on thumb drives. At the same time, we're intrigued by the possibility of using virtual systems as sandboxes and tools to create data separation.	Sara Peters, CSI Senior Editor
