Privacy - Key Drivers and Concerns for CyberInfrastructure Specialists
"Cyberinfrastucture" is all about safeguarding and ensuring the reliability and availability of key information assets. What professionals in this area are often unaware is how privacy requirements both support and impact their efforts. Privacy is not only about the confidentiality of personal information, but also about its availability, access and integrity … and has serious reputational and legal consequences when organizations fail to meet their obligations. This is a privacy professional's angle what cyberinfrastructure professionals should know about privacy, and how to make friends with the privacy department to support organizational goals of compliance and reliability.

Assessing Critical Infrastructure - A Case Study at an Energy Facility

Gregory Garcia, former Assistant Secretary for Cyber Security and Communications, U.S. Department of Homeland Security. President, Garcia Strategies LLC, Board of Directors, Wurldtech Security Technologies

The Security Nexus: Cyber and Physical; Business and Government
Owners and operators of our critical energy, communications, and other infrastructures are now seeing the potential for catastrophic physical consequences of remote cyber attacks against the very processes that run our daily lives, businesses and government. Safeguarding our public safety, fueling our economic activity, and protecting our national security depend now more than ever on the security of our computer networks that enable the functioning of our critical infrastructures. Greg Garcia will discuss how this nexus between cyber and physical security requires a tighter linkage - a more effective nexus - between market demands for stronger security and a government push for a more responsive market.

WiFi Security -or- The Descent Into Depression and Drink

The message that wireless is unsafe has permeated the IT zeitgeist, however people still forget client devices. Attacks targeting client devices are becoming more sophisticated. Kismet Newcore makes breaking WEP a passive action. Airpwn has received a facelift and is now capable of more unspeakable actions over open links (hotels, airports). Karma as well is flypaper for clients running wireless without any thought to protection. Recent vulnerabilities in browsers and other protocols that are often dismissed as 'too hard to exploit to be useful' are suddenly very possible and dangerous when wireless is involved, and attacks crossing from layer 2 directly to layer 7 vulnerabilities will be shown.
