VASCAN Conference 2013

["Streit, Doug" <jstreit () ODU EDU>]

Hello,
                I wanted to pass along information regarding the upcoming VASCAN Conference in Suffolk, Virginia.

2013 Virginia Alliance for Secure Computing and Networking Conference


  *   Schedule:  October 3-4, 2013
  *   Location:  Old Dominion University's Virginia Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Center, Suffolk, Virginia
  *   Registration Cost:  $125 for conference. An additional fee of $150 is applicable for those attending the SANS 
training course
  *   Registration Deadline:  September 15th, 2013
  *   Conference website:  www.odu.edu/vascan<http://www.odu.edu/vascan>

The 2013 conference theme is "Securing the Infrastructure".

Our networks have changed from client/server connectivity for file and print services, to being the host for a variety 
of critical services, including fire alarms, police department services, key controls, sensors, SCADA or building 
controls, steam plan controls, VoIP, virtualized infrastructures, as well as critical business services and increasing 
hosted services maintaining sensitive data. As the services change on our networks, security considerations must change 
to meet the changing landscape. This conference will emphasize these changes to our networks, the growing service 
impact of network unavailability, evolution of assessing risks, developing IDM practices, and other topics relative to 
maintaining a secure infrastructure.

The conference also features a one-day version of the SANS SEC577: Virtualization Security Fundamentals course.

We will be updating our conference site soon with vendors who are participating.

Feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any questions.
