July 27-28, 2009 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.
