Dear Colleagues,

The 2010 EDUCAUSE Annual Conference starts this week, October

Security Council (HEISC) would like to provide some highlights.

Kick-start your week in Anaheim by joining us for the HEISC Open Meeting
<http://www.educause.edu/E2010/Program/MTG19> on Tuesday, October 12,
3-4 pm PDT in Room 211A. This session will provide you with an
opportunity to network with your fellow information security
professionals prior to the EDUCAUSE 2010 opening reception on Tuesday

On Thursday, you can hear about the latest developments in Washington

practical impact. There will also be an Identity & Access Management

EDUCAUSE's implementation of federated identity management.

Wrap-up the week with a panel discussion on "Leveraging Community
