Re: Security training/conference for senior executives

Hi Alan,

I have written a 4 course Specialization for Coursera focusing on real world security called “Practical Computer 
Security”.  The first 3 courses are geared toward executives and beginners trying to understand practical security from 
a business perspective.  The 4th course focuses on proactive security and is more technology driven.  It is going 
through beta testing right now and should be launched within a month.  Once it’s launched, it will show up on the 
University of Colorado System page in Coursera - https://www.coursera.org/cusystem .  There is a fee, but you can audit 
it.  I can send you the outline if you want.  The courses including my other courses in System Administration and 
Security are sanctioned and funded directly through the NSA and Army Reserve P3i program.

Subject: [SECURITY] Security training/conference for senior executives

Hello,

Can anyone recommend a short training session or conference for senior executive(s) that are not information security 
practitioners?  The goal is to raise their level of knowledge about information security topics. I’ve had the benefit 
of attending SANS training but the appropriate classes seem to be five days long and that’s simply not going to work.
