2010 Program

Program Overview

Securing the eCampus 2010: Building a Culture of Information Security in an Academic Institution will take place July 19-21, 2010.

The conference will be held on the Dartmouth campus and will feature presentations from information security and educational IT leaders from across the country.

The first day of the conference will offer something new to participants. At no additional cost, eCampus will offer two training seminars on a first come, first served basis (the first 25 RSVPs will be admitted).  The two training seminars offered are:

• Into the Cloud: A hands-on workshop exploring the pros and cons of hosting servers in public, private, and hybrid Clouds.
• Data Driven Security: A different approach to determining security requirements.

Registration for these seminars is included in the overall conference registration.

Day two will feature our traditional offering of presentations from leaders in the information security field. This year we will offer presentations on privacy, regulations and policy, security awareness, cybercrime, and cyberwar in addition to panels on cloud computing. The third day will include break-out discussions that allow participants to discuss specific topic areas in smaller groups and in a more informal setting. Topics will range from e-discovery for higher education, emerging technical threats, hacker tools and the hacker curriculum, and more.

The registration fee includes breakfast, lunch, and snacks both days, a networking event on Tuesday evening, and attendance at one of the optional seminars. For more information, see the Agenda page.

Event Hosts

This workshop is co-hosted by the Institute for Security, Technology, and Society (ISTS) and Peter Kiewit Computing Services (PKCS) at Dartmouth College.

The Institute for Security, Technology, and Society (ISTS)

The Institute for Security, Technology, and Society (ISTS) at Dartmouth College is dedicated to pursuing research and education to advance information security and privacy throughout society.

ISTS engages in interdisciplinary research, education and outreach programs that focus on information technology (IT) and its role in society, particularly the impact of IT in security and privacy broadly conceived. ISTS nurtures leaders and scholars, educates students and the community, and collaborates with its partners to develop and deploy IT, and to better understand how IT relates to socio-economic forces, cultural values and political influences. ISTS research improves our ability to:

• Design and deploy secure, usable computer systems and protect them from tampering, disruption and attack
• Enable people and organizations to communicate and exchange information securely and privately across networked computing devices
• Address social, economic and policy issues that arise in the development, deployment and regulation of such information technology

Peter Kiewit Computing Services (PKCS)

Peter Kiewit Computing Services (PKCS) leads the institution in creating and managing the information technology environment of the College, and enables all members of the institution to use information resources effectively, productively, and securely in support of Dartmouth College's mission and goals.
