For the past five 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 6th 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.

On Tuesday, July 17th, we will feature a combination of presentations and panel discussions from leaders in the information security field. The second day, July 18th, will include break-out and training sessions in the morning that allow participants to discuss specific topic areas in smaller groups and in a more informal setting. The conference will conclude after lunch on the 18th.

This year we are fortunate to include among our presenters:

   * *Dickie George* - Senior Advisor for Cyber Security at the Johns
     Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory speaking on "Espionage and
     Cyber Crime: Life as a Target"
   * *Rodney Petersen* - Managing Director of the Washington Office and
     Senior Government Relations Officer at EDUCAUSE providing an
     update on government policies and their potential effects on the
     higher ed community

     BreakingPoint/ /speaking about emerging network security threats
