BODY: The Omaha chapter of the
Association of Information Technology Professionals (AITP)
will be hosting a security workshop at
Nebraska CERT Conference 2008.
Following AITP's highly successful INFOTEC model for
providing a forum for our professionals to share their
experience and the keys to their success, we offer
following workshop.. Management professionals have an
ongoing need to effectively and efficiently manage new
threats to their information resources. This requires
balancing options for technical, infrastructure and
personnel solutions. Please join us in this unique
opportunity to keep our resources secure.
-
Jeff Gullifoyle, Symantec, will present ‘Options for
managing the changing technology risks’. He will
identify our choices for tracking and assessing the
current threats. After reviewing options to respond and
to determine the ‘right’ course of action. Of particular
interet is how to evaluate the new alternatives for
virtualization, Web 2.0 and the Internet service
‘cloud’,
-
Kevin Dohrmann and David McKenney, CoSentry, will
discuss ‘Options for infrastructure protection’.They
will share real world experiences in securing
infrastructure from exploits and hackers. CoSentry has

and web hosting for over 7 years. They will be
discussing the best options and strategy’s to protect
organizations from unwanted intrusion and theft of
corporate data as well as personal data. This will
include information about Firewalls, Intrusion
Protection and Detection, patching critical
infrastructure software, etc.”
-
Lori Snyder will define our options on ‘How to address a
Security Culture in Your Organization and Build a
Security Learning Environment.’ Security is an
investment in your company. Good companies that want to
protect their futures know this and take action. Getting
that understanding and buy in can be difficult.
Spreading the knowledge to each employee and ensuring
they make security a part of their daily job can seem to
be an unreasonable achievement to expect. This session
will cover how to get that buy in, spread that awareness
and get employees to incorporate security minded
thinking in their daily jobs. We will provide specific
action items to achieve these results incorporating
examples in local companies in Omaha in the
healthcare and manufacturing industries. Lori Snyder is
a technology Executive with over 20 years of experience.
She has led teams and supported technology projects for
USSTRATCOM, the Pentagon, and across diverse industries
including healthcare, financial, insurance and
manufacturing. She has broad working knowledge in the
