Checking out the upcoming RSA 2006 Conference
I just spent a few minutes checking out the guest speakers for the upcoming RSA 2006 Conference in San Jose. This will be my 5th RSA Conference and I've learned it is best to create an agenda around speakers you know to be good versus picking sessions based on a title only. Regardless of topic, I like to see:
Dan Geer, Paul Kocher, Bruce Schneier, Whitfield Diffie (speaker details are here: https://cm.rsaconference.com/US06/catalog/speakers.do)
Around the beginning of 2005 Cory and I offered to help Richard Bejtlich with authoring material for his 'Extrusion Detection' book. Unfortunately our schedule got super heavy and we were unable to commit full energy to it, but I see Richard is speaking this year at RSA so hopefully we'll have a chance to meet in person.
Session topics that look interesting for 2006 are:
- Detecting Security Vulnerabilities through Automated Binary Analysis
- The Inevitability of Security at the Point of Use (Dan Geer)
- How to Break Software Security
- Managing Business Risk via Information Classification
- Beyond "Black Box" Security Penetration Testing
- Tools for Security Risk Assessments (NIST methodologies)
(session abstracts are here: https://cm.rsaconference.com/US06/catalog/eventguide/publicSchedule.jsp)
