Hi John,
#I'm co-chairing the third Advanced Data Security Conference with Susan
#Koeppen from Microsoft, to be held in Seattle June 28, and am soliciting
#interesting topics and speakers. This event tends to attract corporate
#counsel and compliance folks, and is not "101" level. Hot topics and
#charismatic speakers with deep insight (who will work for free, of course)
#especially preferred; all suggestions gratefully received! Thanks!
How about some of the following:
-- Spam is obviously a hot topic; a couple of possible areas might include:
-- understanding the inter-relationship between state (such as Oregon's
SB910) and federal antispam laws (such as S.877) (you did mention that
corporate counsel types would be attending)
-- insuring that YOUR mailings meet the letter and spirit of those acts
(for example, if you have multiple entities doing mailings, do they
coordinate their opt out requests?)
-- a roundup on replacement of plain text services with their equivalent
encrypted analogs (e.g., telnet --> ssh, plain text POP/IMAP to POP/IMAP
with encryption support, etc.), including a focus on areas where there
are still gaps, with an eye to upgrading what customers are provided
-- adapting security measures to the emerging IPv6 environment (e.g.,
user installs IPv6 on a Wintel machine and then begins doing 6to4
via an autodiscovered/anycast 6to4 gateway -- that's a radically
different environment than the user had before installing v6)
-- browser help objects (BHO's) and browser hijacking
-- handling abuse complaints, and expectations for complaint channels
per RFC2142
-- configuring netflow or intrusion detection systems to identify
problematic traffic
-- using ip-to-ASN translation to help identify and categorize traffic
from blocks with chronically absent PTR records
-- effecient vetting of potential customers prior to signup by sales staff
-- hijacked netblocks and ASNs
