Think about Joining me When I Attend SecureWorld Boston August 19th

I received a flyer for what is an interesting event for those of you like me you are involved in risk management. This August 19th seminar is called “ SecureWorld Spotlight - How to Complete a Risk Assessment in 5 Days.”

The sponsor SecureWorld Expo website describes in more detail their focus to bring together the security leaders, experts, senior executives, and policy makers who are shaping the very face of security. SecureWorld is at the intersection of Information Security, Physical Security, Compliance, IT Audit, Computer Forensics, Enterprise Risk Management, Business Continuity and Security Management.  http://www.secureworldexpo.com/events/index.php?id=291

 To make this post more authoritative for you, I briefly interviewed the speaker to ask what three key takeaways participants will receive.  Tom Peltier told me to expect these three benefits:
1.   An overview of risk management, particularly 3 key confusing issues.
2.   A working knowledge of a facilitated risk assessment process.
3.   An actual action plan and a working template to use.

The short version of his impressive background is:
Tom Peltier has been an information security professional for over thirty years.  During this time he has shared his experiences with follow professionals and because of his work has been given the 1993 Computer Security Institute’s (CSI) Lifetime Achievement Award.  In 1999 the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA) bestowed its Individual Contribution to the Profession Award and in 2001 he was inducted into the ISSA Hall of Fame.  Tom was also awarded the CSI Lifetime Emeritus Membership Award.  Over the past decade, Tom has averaged 4 articles published a year on various computer and information security issues, including developing policies and procedures, disaster recovery planning, copyright compliance, virus management and security controls. He has had six books published on policy development and risk assessment.  He co-authored four other information security books.  He continues to speak and teach information security courses throughout the world.
