Boise ISSA VI ANNUAL InfoSec Conference

The cybercrime scene is changing - and not to the benefit of those of us tasked with protecting our organizations. Attacks are more sophisticated and are focused more and more on the application layer. The criminals are more sophisticated and have organized to maximize their profits. Fighting cybercrime in 2008 and beyond will require those of us in the security profession to change. This session will be a call to action - a call to change the way we work, the way structure our defenses, and the way we fight the criminals who attack us. You need to be part of the solution.
