meeting of interest to BLU members - security focus

[bdinerman-E9lRvMhSBsLYtjvyW6yDsg at public.gmane.org (Bradley J. Dinerman)]

Hello everyone,

We would like to invite you to a security meeting that will be of general
interest to anyone in the IT community, especially those in the metro Boston
area and more so for those that like free software, networking opportunities
and go-kart racing!

My group, the National Information Security Group (NAISG,
<http://www.naisg.org> http://www.naisg.org) is combining the June meeting
of our New England chapter with our annual charity fundraiser for a totally
different kind of event.

A> Presentation... Mike Rothman, the well-known author of The Pragmatic CSO
(http://www.pragmaticcso.com) and The Daily Incite
(http://securityincite.com), will present "An Evening with the Pragmatic
CSO."  This will not be about technology; it will be about being an
effective security administrator, manager or executive.   Regardless of
whether you are a CSO or an administrator, you need to communicate what you
are going to do within the context of your business and track your
effectiveness. The methodology also addresses getting budgetary approval,
interfacing with auditors, and just figuring out what it's going to take to
be a premier security practitioner. Mike will also be available to sign
copies of the Pragmatic CSO after the session.

B> High-Velocity... Strap on your racing helmets and suit up.  We will be
hitting the track for some serious go-kart racing.

C> Give-Aways... We have a number of fully-licensed (NFR) copies of Windows
Vista Ultimate and Office 2007 Professional to give away to attendees.
Copies are limited and these will be provided on a first-paid, first-served
basis.  (A special thanks to Culminis and Microsoft for donating these for
this event.)

WHEN IS IT?

The event will take place on Thursday night, June 21, at F1 Boston in
Braintree, MA starting at 6:45 PM.  This is our regular meeting night, but
at a very different location.
