RSA - Everywhere you want to be

05.02.2007

Colin Powell sees us out the door as the closing keynote (KEY-406, Hall D, 1:50 p.m.). Go early and secure a good seat while taking in a game of "Phish or No Phish!" with all-star contestant/panelists at "Truth, Lies and Perceptions" (KEY-405, Hall D, 1:10 p.m.). Before that, though, find somewhere to stow your rolling suitcase during the last three panel time slots:

9 a.m. sessions

The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service's Ben Rothke frames his talk in management-friendly take-away points in "The Five Habits of Highly Secure Organizations" (PROF-401, Gold Room 308). Meanwhile, IronPort Systems Inc. vice president of technology Patrick Peterson wields the scalpel on a massive junk-mail campaign in "Know Thy Enemy: Deconstructing a 20 Billion-Message Spam Attack" (HT1-401, Green Room 102).

10:05 a.m. sessions

When it comes to legal developments you need to understand, a good panel often beats a pile of after-hours reading. "Electronic Discovery and the New Federal Rules: The First Year" (LAW-402, Burgundy Room 131) will give you a functional framework. In related gotta-know-it topics, WebEx Communications Inc. security manager Michael Machado takes on the "State of Security Reporting" in Gold Room 308 (PROF-402).
