Upcoming Events
Next Chapter Meeting - Friday, November 21st, 2008 - 11:00AM to 12:30PM |
| Come join us for our next Upstate SC ISSA meeting held in convenient Downtown Greenville. The meeting will cover: |
- Presentation:
You're Compliant - But Are You Secure?
Dan Ramaswami, Senior Security Engineer with Sourcefire (www.sourcefire.com), will discuss the importance of creating a security program that protects your enterprise and produces compliance as a by-product. Any compliance effort that focuses strictly on a given set of requirements to check off will not produce long-lasting success. If security is built into your operations, and your mindset, you will be better able to handle changes in existing rules and new regulations that come up. As we know they will.
- Catered box lunches will be provided at a nominal cost of $10 per person. If you'd like to eat lunch with us, please make sure to RSVP to webmaster@upstate-issa.org at least 24 hours prior to the meeting. Also, please include any type of drink you would like to have.
