Live Webcast: Future Trends in Network Security October 13, 2010, 1:00 - 2:00 pm EDT
Malicious code and other attacks are increasing in intensity and the damage that they cause. With little time to react, 
organizations have to become more proactive in their security stance. Reactive security will no longer work. This 
presentation covers security issues that are relevant to IT managers and administrators alike.

Live Webcast: Securing the Human October 20, 2010, 1:00 - 2:00 pm EDT
Organizations have traditionally invested most of their security in technology, with little effort in protecting their 
employees. As a result, many attackers today target the weakest link, the human. Awareness, not just technology, has 
become key to reducing risk and remaining compliant. This short talk will cover the latest trends in how to create and 
implement an awareness program that makes a difference.
Key points include:

 *   Why humans are so bad at judging risk and how attackers exploit these weaknesses.
 *   Why most awareness programs fail, including top five mistakes most organizations make.
 *   How to communicate to the YouTube generation.
 *   How to develop programs that reach multi-cultures.
 *   How to make create metrics.

 Live Webcast: Protecting Your University Data October 27, 2010, 1:00 - 2:00 pm EDT
This presentation will provide University Deans, Directors, Vice-Presidents, Provosts, and other upper University 
management staff with a strategy for protecting sensitive University data. It's a daunting task to protect data 
regulated by FERPA, HIPAA, PCI, GLB, and other laws and regulations and the penalties for disclosure of this 
information can be substantial. The presentation discusses key points that need to be addressed in any workable and 
successful sensitive data protection strategy. We'll discuss some simple tips on protecting your data, protecting your 
machine and protecting yourself that are used at VA Tech.

NOTE:The value of each of these events is $195, which you will be charged if you do not use the discount code 
(DG-October). This is intended only for EDU employees.
