8:30 -- Session 1 - The Florida Computer Crime Act

Tom Sadaka, Assistant State Prosecutor

The Florida Computer Crime Act and its application to system administrators will be discussed. If you are the victim, what laws can be applied.

The application of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and the Privacy Protection Act will also be covered in this discussion.

9:30 -- Session 2 - Trends in Computer Law Enforcement

Bob Breeden, FDLE

Special Agent Bob Breeden will present an overview of FDLE's response to computer crime in Florida and talk about the current trends that law enforcement is seeing in this exploding arena. Breeden will talk about the current issues that will be addressed in the coming legislative session and will introduce Infragard, the federally sponsored program to address infrastructure security.

10:45 -- Session 3 - Kerberos/Walkup Authentication/GatorLink Cookies

Allen Rout, NERDC
Leo Wierzbowski, CIRCA
Eli Ben Shoshan, NERDC

Kerberos is the gold standard for authentication in a hostile environment. The authentication supporting such big names as DCE and AFS, Kerberos uses strong cryptography to safeguard authentication transactions and data transfer.

Powerful protection is often complex, and Kerberos is no exception. How does Kerberos let you prove who you are without your password ever touching the network? Learn the basics of Kerberos, and why you want it protecting your passwords too.

1:00 -- Session 4 - Learning from Your Security Mistakes

John Kida, S3 Networks

A fun way to experience security threats is learning from other peoples security mistakes before they happen to you.

2:00 -- Session 5 - Secure Network Design

Tim Ryan, CISCO Systems

4:00 -- Session 7 - The Anatomy of an Attack and Risk Management

John Rezabek, Technical Product Manager, Internet Security Systems (ISS)

It is uncommon to go through a day in the Internet Age without some media bestowing the tragic news of a new network attack against a government, financial, educational, or commercial computer system.

Although our familiarity with hacker attacks has become common, for most, understanding how a perpetrator compromises a system is still a mystery.

In his Anatomy of an Attack and Risk Management presentation, John Rezabek will provide a detailed example of how easy it is for hackers to break into and compromise today's networked computers. He will also illustrate an example of how the recent DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks function and how they can cripple a network and its services. He will then address the importance of assessing and managing the risks associated with e-business and Internet connectivity and what companies can do to protect themselves against this risk. This presentation will include real world visuals and anecdotes to detail in laymen's terms an attack on a fictional company's system.
