Topic: Wireless LAN: Taking back your Air Space
Aruba Networks will be discussing Wireless Security; Wireless networks have even more security challenges than fixed, wired networks. Organizations must have a preemptive plan of action to prevent wireless attacks and policy violations, which can compromise an organization's data privacy and regulatory compliance. Security/IT managers need to plan for, monitor, and mitigate potential wireless threats as well as react quickly when any breach occurs.
Wireless and Regulatory Compliance; regulatory compliance is important in industries such as healthcare, retail and the financial sector. Regulations such as FIPS 140-2, HIPPA, Payment Card Industry and SOX require separation of information between entities that may have potential conflicts of interest.

Department Training Academy, which is located in
Waipahu at 93-093 Waipahu Depot Street.

Richard Clarke--famed as the former counterterrorism czar for Bill Clinton and George W. Bush--ended his government career as the White House advisor to the President on Cyberspace Security. He is now bringing that expertise to the IT world.
In an Internet presentation sponsored by RSA Security Inc. Thursday, Clarke sounded the alarm on some possible threats, but also unveiled a list of 10 steps, or checkpoints, to help secure IT installations. Clarke, now chairman of Good Harbor Consulting, advocates a broad approach to IT security, employing what he terms "a holistic view of risk."
Clarke noted that the broad area of IT security is growing has traditionally been slighted by top management in large corporations. He said management--including CEOs, board directors, CIOs, CFOs, HR heads, and internal auditors--should meet regularly to discuss security issues. "This whole group needs to get together once a month," he suggested.
Security issues are rapidly growing in importance to enterprises, he said, noting that not only do top executives have to pay attention to legislation like Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA, but there is much pending legislation--on both the national and state levels--that could benefit from input from informed IT managers and from involved top management. "This [can be] about showing the Congress that you don't need to be regulated, because you're doing it yourself," he said.
He ticked off a list of proposed legislation that could become law. The SEC is considering supporting legislation that would require an IT-security readiness statement to be filed with the SEC annually. The FCC is examining regulations that would require ISPs to beef-up their security. Also under consideration, he noted, is legislation aimed at improving security at chemical and electric-power plants.
