EDUCAUSE Security Professionals Conference 2012 May 15-17, 2012 • Indianapolis and Online



Security Everywhere: Exploring the Expanding World of Security

As the breadth of technology expands globally, so do the boundaries of information security. The 10th annual Security Professionals Conference, May 15-17, at the JW Marriott Indianapolis and online, will attempt to recalibrate security during a paradigm shift. Our institutional data resides in environments where borders continue to dissolve. Constant accessibility and portability have become commonplace for employees and students. This means that:
•Individuals and their choices are essential in preserving security and privacy
•Data resides on a diverse array of personal and enterprise devices
•Global and instantaneous information sharing are readily available
•Attacks and malware now focus on every facet of our environment


Our goal as information security professionals is to support our constituents’ ability to take advantage of modern computing in safe and secure ways. As the definition of “security” grows to include privacy, identity management, physical security, information assurance, and more, it is imperative to share information and experiences with peers. Share your expertise and answer the call to propose at the Security Professionals Conference.

The call for proposals (CFP) for the the Security Professionals Conference is open. CFP deadline is December 16.


The 2012 Security Professionals Conference is brought to you by the EDUCAUSE and Internet2 Higher Education Information Security Council (HEISC) and the Research and Education Networking Information Sharing and Analysis Center (REN-ISAC).
