4:10 p.m. sessions

If you can't spare time for talk of futuristic "spear-phishing" techniques at "Phuture Phishing: More Targeted Then Ever" (CONS-107, Gold Room 307), you'll have to choose between two big panels: "Virtualization and Security" featuring Oracle Chief Technology Officer Mary Ann Davidson (DEPL-107, Burgundy Room 130) and "Handling a Massive ID Theft" (EXP-107, Green Room 103) with the FBI's Dan Larkin and former White House cybersecurity adviser Howard Schmidt. To repeat, the week will only get tougher from here.

5:40 p.m. sessions

You've got to admire whoever scheduled the "Hacking Hollywood" look at technology in pop culture (with ihackstuff.com's Johnny Long, HT1-X108, Green Room 102) for day's end -- a nice way to wrap up the first insane day. If you're still relatively alert, though, consider either "Honeyclient Tech and Client-Side Exploit Research" with The Mitre Corp. information security engineer Kathy Wang (HT2-108, Green Room 104) or the empaneled goodness of "It's The Data: Securing the Enterprise in the Age of the Data Breach," with the Ponemon Institute's Lawrence Ponemon leading the charge (BUS-108, Gold Room 301).
