Senate IT Committee, Could you please pass on this information about SecureIT 2006 to appropriate faculty members involved in information security? The conference was in San Diego last year and I received positive feedback from SDSU attendees. This conference is worth attending for faculty teaching or interested in information technology security. This particular conference draws a log of CSU/UC attendees so its also a valuable venue for networking with other campuses.
