ISSA and Georgetown Law Center Collaborate on Major Conference
Emerging Trends in Information Security and the Law

We are very excited to invite you to one of the most important and thought-provoking conferences we have ever organized. Please join us for the ISSA - Georgetown School of Law CLE Conference: Emerging Trends in Information Security and the Law: "Plausible Deniability is Dead", in Washington DC on November 9th and 10th. We have organized an unprecedented speaker roster of industry luminaries from the worlds of Law, Government and Information Security.

CEOs, CIOs, CISOs and legal professionals need to understand the developments in regulations and statutes that have led to convergence of issues between information security and inhouse and outside counsel. Business planning must consider the business drivers of both legal and security factors to be successful. This two-day conference is designed for CxOs and legal counsel, together with a combination of panels, presentations and interactive sessions to highlight key success strategies for the transparency required for business integrity, security and compliance. The issues covered are applicable to ISSA members in a wide variety of organizational roles.

ISAlliance Survey Helps Measure Value of Online Security Resources

The Internet Security Alliance (the “ISAlliance”), a non-profit association that promotes market-based alternatives to regulating Internet security, is evaluating the potential value to the information security community of developing a subscription-based online resource regarding the international laws, regulations and standards applicable to information security (essentially, a “cyberlaw” research service).

The ISAlliance invites information security professionals, compliance officers, auditors, lawyers and others interested in the national and international laws, regulations and standards applicable to information security to complete this questionnaire. Your answers are entirely confidential and no personal information is collected. The survey will take less than 10 minutes to complete.

Here is a link to the survey. http:/www.eiamultimedia.org/survey/isalliance_survey.html
