Hello!

The next, non-commercial, technological Security Forum will take place
on Sunday, the 20th of February, 2005, at Tel Aviv University's Lev
Auditorium.

Between DNSSEC and breaking pseudo-random algorithms to hijack HTTP
sessions, last month was cool, no?

A bit over 160 people showed up.

Schedule
--------
17:45 - Gathering - hot and cold drinks will be served.

18:00 - Yoni Appel, CheckPoint.
  Lecture: IPv6 Security.
  Level: Medium.

  During the last 18 months we have witnessed IPv6 transitioning from a
  future technology to a reality.

  We will analyze the security implications of using IPv6 in the context
  of network and application security, considering the usage of IPv6
  today, and foreseeable future trends.

19:00 - We will break for a short recess, as well as for
  refreshments and networking between members - hot and cold
  drinks will be served.

19:20 - Mati Ram, CEO - Dynasec.
  Lecture: Information security compliance and risk management.

  During the lecture, we will present methodologies for information
  security risk management (qualitative and quantitative).

  Additionally we will discuss the connection between information
  security and operational risk management.

Hot and cold drinks will be freely available.

Attendance is free.

Who we are
----------
The Security Forum, hosted by the Tel Aviv University, started when a
few of us talked about there being an (almost) complete lack of
professional and social events on security in Israel which are not
completely commercial and about "sticking products down out throats".

We decided to do instead of complain, and here we are.

In previous meetings we had over a hundred arrivals, varying from
soldiers and students, through programmers and government CSO's, all the
way to CEO's and CTO's of different companies, banks and other
institutions. Some have been part of our community since the 70's and
some are just people who are interested in the subject.

Have a good weekend,

        Gadi Evron.
