For the past four years CIOs, CISOs and other academic IT leaders have met in Hanover, NH to discuss how information security has become a significant campus-wide concern and an institution-wide responsibility. We are pleased to announce the 5th Annual "Securing the eCampus" conference and invite you to join us this year in discussing the unique challenges of cyber security in academia and what it takes to build a culture of security at your institution. The conference will begin on the morning of *Tuesday, July 19th* and will conclude on the afternoon of *July 20th*.

Day one will feature presentations from leaders in the information security field. This year we are fortunate to include as our presenters:

   * *Shari Lawrence Pfleeger* - Director of Research for the Institute
     for Information Infrastructure Protection (I3P) who will present,
     "Keeping the Human in the Loop"
   * *Charles Pfleeger* - Head of Pfleeger Consulting Group speaking
     about "Dumb Ideas in Computer Security"

     Alliance who will present, "The Evolution of Cyber Threats and

The second day will include break-out sessions and a panel discussion that allow participants to discuss specific topic areas in smaller groups and in a more informal setting. Topics will include: the OWASP Top 10 with Cigital and OWASP's *Kuai Hinojosa*; understanding global internet events with *Doug Madory *of Renesys; the Building Security in Maturity Model (BSIMM) with *Jason Hills* of Cigital and OWASP; and a panel discussion on cyber insurance led by *Leslie Seabrook* of Dartmouth.
