The Institute invites experts from around the world to present public lectures on topics related to cyber security, cyber trust and privacy, as well as on the analysis of the economic and public policy impact of cyber and infrastructure vulnerabilities. These talks promote understanding, collaboration and dissemination of knowledge among researchers, and expose the larger community to the issues, challenges and solutions being examined and tested.
While speakers are at ISTS and on campus, every effort will be made to create opportunities for interested students, faculty, and researchers to meet and/or converse with invited guests regarding their areas of expertise. Additional plans include the possibility of adding panel discussions, roundtables, or point-counterpoint sessions to the speaker series format.
| Securing the eCampus 2009: Building a Culture of Information Security in an Academic Institution
July 27-28, 2009 Dartmouth College This year will mark our 3rd Annual Securing the eCampus conference. For the past two years, CIOs, CISOs, and other academic IT leaders have met in Hanover, N.H., to discuss how information systems security has become a significant campus-wide concern and an institution-wide responsibility. Join us this year for an exciting conference program that will feature discussions on the latest trends from the perspectives of: social (attacker motivation), technical (changing nature of attacks), operational/strategic (metrics), and regulatory (FTC Rules, FERPA, Higher Ed Reauthorization, etc.) as well as an overview of the way current students interact with technology and how it affects higher education.
