DETROIT – One more reason to make sure you have signed up to become a member of Michigan InfraGard ? a DEEP discount on a two-day security seminar focusing on Policy-centric Security Architectures scheduled for Nov. 30-Dec. 1 at Eastern Michigan University.

What is Policy centric security architecture? Well, it essentially means designing your security architecture around those things that you MUST report on in order to comply with policies your company is mandated with. Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, GLBA, FISMA and SB1386 are all issues that have to be dealt with in business today, and will be covered in this seminar.

We are not talking about stopping the bad guys here ? we are talking about just understanding what is going on with your systems so that you can identify when a violation has occurred! It is important to have awareness before corrective action can be taken, and this seminar focuses on providing you with the skills and tools to allow you to design an architecture to support regulatory compliance with whatever your company has to deal with.

InfraGard, a partnership between private industry and the FBI, is focused on providing security information to the business community to help make our region, state and country safer to do business in. InfraGard is proud to be associated with Eastern Michigan?s sponsorship of the IP3 seminar, and wants to get the word out and we?re using Mitechnews.Com to do so.

If you are a current InfraGard member, you should have already received an email from our FBI liaison, Jason Nestleroad, inviting you to register for this $795 course that includes the IP3 Security Tools CD and a 250-page workbook.

But you as InfraGard members get it for much less, but I can?t say how much less in print. Let?s put it this way: the cancellation fee is more, so you are getting in so cheap that you have to pay THEM if you change your mind later!

If you aren?t a member of InfraGard, but would like to take advantage of these kind of opportunities, contact our membership chair, John Sheridan, at (734) 604-1120, or email him at [email protected] or me, Hans Erickson, at [email protected]
