IT Security Conference and CTF in Dublin, Ireland - November 2009

[markhillick at gmail.com (Mark Hillick)]

Folks,,

I hope I'm not breaking the rules of the mailing list but for anyone who
lives near Ireland, I thought this may be of interest.

****************
IRISS - Irish Reporting and Information Security Service (www.iriss.ie) - is
Ireland's first CSIRT and we will be holding our first annual conference
will focus on providing you with an overview of the current cyber threats
facing businesses in Ireland and what you can do to help deal with those
threats.

Experts on various aspects of cyber crime and cyber security will share
their thoughts and experiences with you while a number of panel sessions
will provide you with the opportunity to discuss the issues that matter to
you most.

There will be a number of expert speakers on cyber crime including
representatives from; The Irish Reporting and Information Security Service,
An Garda Siochana (i.e. the Police), The Data Protection Commissioner's
Office The European Network and Information Security Agency and OWASP.

In parallel to the above speaking sessions Ireland's first Cyber Security
Challenge, HackEire, will be held to identify Ireland's top cyber security
experts. HackEire will see 10 teams, up to a maximum of four people per
team, compete against each other in a controlled environment to see which
team will be the first to exploit weaknesses in a number of systems and
declare victory.

The conference will be open to anyone with the responsibility for securing
their business information assets. There is no charge for those who wish to
attend.

The IRISS Annual Conference is an opportunity to not only increase your
knowledge but also to meet and network with your peers in a relaxed
environment.

Sl?inte, Mark

P.S. Being that the conference is being held in Ireland, there may be one or
two beers later on (i.e. real beers).
