ANNOUNCE: Two upcoming security events

["Kenneth R. van Wyk" <Ken () KRvW com>]

Greetings,

I've had two upcoming events brought to my attention, which I thought that I'd 
share with you all.  They are as follows, verbatim from their respective
announcements:

8th Annual Colloquium: 7-10 June, 2004

Cyber Security Partnerships:  Cooperation, Collaboration, and Teamwork 
for Excellence in Information Assurance Education

http://www.ncisse.org/

Recognizing that the protection of information and infrastructures that 
are used to create, store, process and communicate information is vital 
to the productivity and security of our nation, and to assure the 
continuity and growth of our infrastructure-based society, the 
Colloquium provides a forum for dialogue among leading figures in 
government, industry and academia to work in partnership to define 
current and emerging requirements for information security education, 
and to influence and encourage the development and expansion of 
information security curricula especially at the graduate and 
undergraduate levels.

Developer Security Webcast Week February 16 - 20, 2004

Microsoft announces a special week of webcasts addressing the most important 
and newly emerging security issues surrounding developers. Topics range from 
corporate security reviews and computer crime to a host of webcasts aimed 
specifically at developers. These webcasts are designed to help developers 
write applications that are resistant to security attacks. Webcasts will 
address a broad range of issues facing developers today: specific coding 
techniques to make applications inherently more secure, SQL Server 
considerations, authentication and authorization, Enterprise Security 
Portals, and protecting your intellectual property with Code Access Security. 
Tune in as top industry experts walk you through key security concepts that 
will help your organization -- and the code you write -- rise to the security 
challenges we all face today. 

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/security/understanding/webcasts/default.aspx for 
full details.

Cheers,

Ken van Wyk
