Software Assurance - To be or not to be? February 16, 2012; 1:00 p.m. (ET)
In this hour-long webinar…much of America’s infrastructure is powered by software; thus, a
serious concern is that software is full of defects and vulnerable to cyber attacks. Nevertheless,
we still build and buy programs that can be exploited by any malicious actor in cyberspace.

IC-SEC.Org presents: ISO/IEC 27001:2005 - Information Security Management System Implementation, March 27th-29th, 2007 At Henry Ford M-Tech
BSI’s “ISO/IEC 27001:2005 – Information Security Management System Implementation” course provides an overview of the latest techniques and examines issues surrounding Information Security Management System (ISMS). This course details the requirements for implementing a formal management system as specified in ISO/IEC 27001:2005 and outlines information security issues including methods of control and countermeasures for threats. Experienced instructors lead students to help them understand the processes required to implement and manage information security. Exercises and discussions teach students how to implement controls and how to integrate ISMS activities with business and other security objectives.
Winners of the First Annual Michigan/Ohio Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition a Success
Teams of students from 7 different two-year and four-year public and private institutions across Michigan and Ohio participated in a spirited competition where they built and then defended data networks. This event was held Feb. 15-18 at ICSEC member institution Eastern Michigan University. The exercise gave all of the students involved a practical understanding of the difficulties involved in defending computer networks in the real-world.
According to Washtenaw Community College CIS Program Manager Neil Gudsen, the element that sets this competition apart from others was that the competitors had to build a complete defensive strategy rather than just attempt an offensive attack, “It was patterned after an exercise that took place at West Point about three years ago and is the ultimate test of skills in computer security. Teams were required to create a network that simulated an actual business network and then defend it from hackers while responding to constantly changing business scenarios and new challenging attack vectors.”
The first place team trophy went to Baker College of Flint. Second and third place finishers were JacksonCommunity College, and ICSEC member Washtenaw Community College, respectively. Both Baker College andJackson Community College will advance to the Midwest Regional Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition to be held in Palos Hills, Illinois March 16-18, 2007. Good luck and congratulations to all!
The competition was the collaborative effort of Washtenaw Community College, Eastern MichiganUniversity, ICSEC, and the Center for Systems Security and Information Assurance (CSSIA). Sponsors also included the National Science Foundation (NSF), CISCO Networks, EDS, CDW-G, Verizon Business, Infragard of Michigan, Physiguard, Cyber Defense Education, Compsat Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Access Data Inc. clink on this link to hear an interview at the event: http://mitechnews.mediarica.com/archives/33

IC-SEC.Org presents: ISO/IEC 27001:2005 - Information Security Management System Implementation, March 27th-29th, 2007 At Henry Ford M-Tech
BSI’s “ISO/IEC 27001:2005 – Information Security Management System Implementation” course provides an overview of the latest techniques and examines issues surrounding Information Security Management System (ISMS). This course details the requirements for implementing a formal management system as specified in ISO/IEC 27001:2005 and outlines information security issues including methods of control and countermeasures for threats. Experienced instructors lead students to help them understand the processes required to implement and manage information security. Exercises and discussions teach students how to implement controls and how to integrate ISMS activities with business and other security objectives.
Winners of the First Annual Michigan/Ohio Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition a Success
Teams of students from 7 different two-year and four-year public and private institutions across Michigan and Ohio participated in a spirited competition where they built and then defended data networks. This event was held Feb. 15-18 at ICSEC member institution Eastern Michigan University. The exercise gave all of the students involved a practical understanding of the difficulties involved in defending computer networks in the real-world.
According to Washtenaw Community College CIS Program Manager Neil Gudsen, the element that sets this competition apart from others was that the competitors had to build a complete defensive strategy rather than just attempt an offensive attack, “It was patterned after an exercise that took place at West Point about three years ago and is the ultimate test of skills in computer security. Teams were required to create a network that simulated an actual business network and then defend it from hackers while responding to constantly changing business scenarios and new challenging attack vectors.”
The first place team trophy went to Baker College of Flint. Second and third place finishers were JacksonCommunity College, and ICSEC member Washtenaw Community College, respectively. Both Baker College andJackson Community College will advance to the Midwest Regional Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition to be held in Palos Hills, Illinois March 16-18, 2007. Good luck and congratulations to all!
The competition was the collaborative effort of Washtenaw Community College, Eastern MichiganUniversity, ICSEC, and the Center for Systems Security and Information Assurance (CSSIA). Sponsors also included the National Science Foundation (NSF), CISCO Networks, EDS, CDW-G, Verizon Business, Infragard of Michigan, Physiguard, Cyber Defense Education, Compsat Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Access Data Inc. clink on this link to hear an interview at the event: http://mitechnews.mediarica.com/archives/33
