    Consec '10 - A New Decade of Information Security

    • September 27-29, 2010
    • Norris Conference Center
    • Austin, TX, USA

    In the 2000s, “cyber threats” grew up. Social networks emerged as the second home of millions. They attracted both legitimate new business models and new ways to defraud. Identity theft became a household term. From the network-crippling Code Red and Nimda worms of 2001, through financially-motivated rogue security software, SQL injection compromises, the rise of bot-nets, and in 2009 the theft of 130 million credit card numbers, the threats have trended away from “hacking,” for notoriety sake, toward cybercrime, for profit.

    Early Bird Registration through September 9, 2010.
    Conference plus workshop $295 (Members) / $335 (non-Member)
    Conference Only $255 (Members) / $290 (non-Members)
    Executive Edge One Day $195 (Member and non-Member rate)
