Sessions in this track will focus on topics related to the secure development, implementation and operation of package and custom developed applications, whether they are legacy, Web-based, or other (e.g., peer-to-peer).  This track will also include sessions related to applied cryptography.

Non-implementation issues about the security industry, such as strategic trends, financing (e.g., VC investment in security start-ups) and broad service offerings such as auditing and systems integration will be discussed in this track.

Cryptography is ever changing and this academically-focused and refereed track for mathematicians and computer scientists offers presentations of the very latest papers about the science of cryptography.

In this track you’ll hear research, implementation and deployment of solutions for AAA, data leakage protection, enterprise rights management, forensics, and other enterprise security-related services, as well as vulnerability assessments and penetration testing.

Listen to leading information security professionals talk about today’s most pressing matters.

Security and the battle for justice go hand-in-hand. Topics in this track range from unintended consequences due to legislation and legal rulings, to liability from negligence claims by private litigants.

Policies and requirements promulgated by government entities impact information security in both the public and private sector.  This track covers topics related to current and emerging regulations, legislation, national security, law enforcement, and government procurement issues applicable at the federal, state, local and international levels.

Sessions in this track focus on risk mitigation, compliance, and standards.

In this advanced technical track you’ll hear detailed discussions about social engineering (spam, phishing, pharming, etc.), vulnerabilities, exploits that are in the wild.

Learn about issues related to functional hosts connecting to a network that are not directly related to network-level security or interconnectivity, for example, servers, endpoints (desktops, laptops, printers, multi-function devices), mobile communications devices, embedded systems and issues related to the operation of devices (operating systems, virtualization, endpoint security capabilities).

Sessions in this track focus on late breaking news, events, and/or revelations determined just prior to the Conference to ensure that information presented to attendees is as current as possible.

Regardless of communications media (wired – copper, fiber optic; wireless – Bluetooth, IR, 802.11x, satellite), network-level security devices and issues (firewalls, IDS/IPS), interconnectivity devices (routers, switches, hubs), protocols and trends will be examined in this track.

Sessions in this track will focus on physical security, including topics such as video surveillance and analytics.  Critical infrastructure protection topics, such as SCADA and distributed/process control systems will also be covered in this track.

Learn about individuals’ technical and business/management training and career development, as well as staff and personnel management in the Professional Development track.

In this advanced technical track you’ll hear discussions about research into social engineering (spam, phishing, pharming, etc.), vulnerabilities, exploits and how to combat these problems.

Learn innovative best practices from case studies based on successful strategies, delivered and discussed by leading edge companies.

Architectural and strategic planning considerations for the deployment of security-enabled technologies, as well as trends in emerging technologies, aligning security to other business units, and security metrics.
