FITSI to attend FISSEA Conference

 March 7, 2011

Later this month, FITSI will be an exhibitor at the 24th annual conference of the Federal Information Systems Security Educators’ Association (FISSEA).

With the theme “Bridging to the Future – Emerging Trends in Cybersecurity,” the conference will be held March 15-17 at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, MD. The FITSI exhibitor booth will be staffed on March 16.

This year’s FISSEA theme was selected to “solicit presentations that reflect current projects, trends and initiatives that will provide pathways to future solutions.”

“The FISSEA conference is always an excellent source of information about trends and developments that are shaping the complex world of federal IT security,” said Jim Wiggins, FITSI executive director. “Both FITSI and FISSEA share similar interests in promoting awareness and understanding of the unique requirements for federal IT security. It’s also a great opportunity to network with people who share an interest in the federal IT security Body of Knowledge.”

Dr. Ernest McDuffie, Director of the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) headquartered in NIST will provide the keynote address. Parties interested in attending this year’s conference should get all the details at the FISSEA website at http://www.fissea.org.
