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!<\/p>\n
My group, the National Information Security Group<\/strong> (NAISG, naisg.org<\/a>) is combining the June meeting of our New England chapter with our annual charity fundraiser for a totally different kind of event.<\/p>\n A> Presentation<\/strong>… Mike Rothman, the well-known author of The Pragmatic CSO (pragmaticcso.com<\/a>) and The Daily Incite (now merged with securosis.com<\/a>), will present “An Evening with the Pragmatic CSO<\/strong>.”\u00a0 This will not be about technology; it will be about being an effective security administrator, manager or executive.\u00a0\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n B> High-Velocity<\/strong>… Strap on your racing helmets and suit up.\u00a0 We will be hitting the track for some serious go-kart racing.<\/p>\n C> Give-Aways<\/strong>… We have a number of fully-licensed (NFR) copies of Windows Vista Ultimate and Office 2007 Professional to give away to attendees.\u00a0 Copies are limited and these will be provided on a first-paid, first-served basis.\u00a0 (A special thanks to Culminis and Microsoft for donating these for this event.)<\/p>\n WHEN IS IT?<\/strong><\/p>\n The event will take place on Thursday night, June 21, at F1 Boston in Braintree, MA starting at 6:45 PM.\u00a0 This is our regular meeting night, but at a very different location.<\/p>\n HOW DO I REGISTER OR FIND MORE INFORMATION?<\/strong><\/p>\n Check it out here: naisg.org\/events<\/a>.<\/p>\n HOW CAN I HELP TO SPONSOR THIS EVENT PLUS GET SOME PR FOR MYSELF?<\/strong><\/p>\n We are very glad you asked.\u00a0 We do need sponsors for this event.\u00a0 Remember that all net proceeds from the event will be donated directly to charity (The Caitlin Raymond International Registry, bethematch.org<\/a>).\u00a0 Please see naisg.org\/events<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n AND SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS:<\/strong><\/p>\n > Vericept, the leading provider of comprehensive compliance and content control solutions.
