Cndnsd Vrsn: 4 PM Thursday April 6 ACS Room 123-- Cyberterrorism
The first April meeting of the Front Range UNIX Users Group will be held at
4:00 P.M. on Thursday April 6.
The recent denial-of-service attacks on major Web sites around
the country has brought about an increasing awareness of the
potential of cyberterrorism. Rob Kolstad will discuss
cyberterrorism in the context of a presentation given to
security organizations and corporations across the United States.
Rob's talk addresses the ease with which hackers can penetrate the
critical systems and potentially destroy the fabric of the network
economy's infrastructure. The talk will be followed by a discussion
and analysis of how to best convey messages about cyberterrorism
to the general public.
Rob is the former president of Berkeley Software Design, Inc. (BSDI),
former SANS program manager, and now finds himself in the throes of a one
year sabbatical.
Rob is an entertaining and well-known speaker in the UNIX community with
interests including optimization, promoting computing as a profession,
and racquetball.
Rob will be talking at SAGE
later that same evening.
This meeting will be in room 123 of
the CU Academic Computing Center building at Arapahoe and Marine Streets in
Boulder. Marine St intersects Arapahoe at 38th St; the Computing Center is
on the southwest corner.
