Presented by Paul Henry, Vice President Technology Evangelism at Secure Computing
Internet threats continue to outpace defensive implementations. As indicated by several Internet security surveys the vast majority of networks are using outdated solutions that don't stand a chance against the current onslaught of new application vulnerabilities and massive Botnets now under the control of organized crime. Understanding the threat is the first step in building a reliable defense: What we will cover: What is driving the explosive growth of malware, Why Web 2.0 has become the latest low hanging fruit for the bad guys, Spam - and you thought it could not get any worse, Passwords are obsolete - in band authentication has failed, Cyber Espionage and Cyber Terror - real threats in 2008. Attendees will come away from this session armed with the knowledge of the current threats imposed on today's Internet and the risk mitigation considerations for a formidable defense.

10:30 - 11:45 "Shining a Spotlight on the Dark Side"
Presented by Professor John Radson, Founder and Director National Security Forum, Associate Law Professor William Mitchell College of Law, JD Harvard Law School
Professor Radsan will discuss the complications that result from courts dealing with classified information. Since 9/11, from the Moussaoui prosecution to the civil suits against telecommunications companies for cooperating on the terrorist surveillance program, more of a spotlight is being directed onto government activities that used to take place on the dark side. Classified information, as Professor Radsan explains, complicates criminal prosecutions, civil cases, and Freedom of Information Act requests. His discussion will include developments under the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA) and the state secrets privilege.
