Business FocusConference Overview
Top members of the computer security industry -- some of whom haven't been together in 10 years -- are coming together for a new educational security conference: SOURCE 2008. The conference will take place March 12-14, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, 575 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, Mass.
Keynote speakers for SOURCE 2008 include Steven Levy, author and Newsweek journalist who is one of the pioneers of technology journalism; and Dan Geer, Chief Scientist of Verdasys and computer security expert who has served in advisory roles for the Federal Trade Commission, the National Science Foundation, the Treasury Department, and the Department of Defense.
Special keynote guest will be Richard Clarke, internationally recognized expert on security who served the last three U.S. presidents as a senior White House Advisor.
The SOURCE 2008 curriculum was designed by security experts with deep industry roots, including former members of @stake, the NSA, and L0pht Heavy Industries, the security think tank. The intent was to create a conference that will help educate security and IT professionals and senior executives on the latest security trends while providing opportunities for attendees to network with industry thought leaders in an intimate, East Coast setting.
