BCS ISSG EVENTS

BCS ISSG FORENSICS DAY 2008

Wednesday 24th September 2008.

Venue to be confirmed shortly.

Computer Forensics is always of interest to our members, and our regular Forensics Days are always well attended.  You can read a report on our last Forensics Day here.  Full details of this year's event will be available shortly.

MOVING THE GOALPOSTS - SECURING FLEXIBLE BUSINESS

Wednesday 26th November 2008.

Venue to be advised later.

Business merge, divest divisions, get taken over.  These structural changes create major problems for those responsible for IS infrastructures, at a time when corporate management's attention is directed to other things than information security.  This meeting will address the security issues associated with the impact of changing business strategies on IT infrastructure.

BCS ISSG LEGAL DAY 2009

Friday 23rd January 2009.

To be held at the Royal Air Force Club, Piccadilly, London.

A regular fixture in the ISSG calendar, the "Legal Day" will bring you up to date with key legal changes and news which may impact on the IT/IS professional's business.  Led by the Group's own legal expert, committee member Charlotte Walker-Osborn, and with speakers drawn from various areas of industry and related regulatory bodies, this seminar is likely to cover new laws around data protection, information security, IT and more.

BCS ISSG ANNUAL CONFERENCE

Thursday and Friday 26th and 27th March 2009.

Venue to be advised later.

The Annual Conference is our premier event, and provides an excellent opportunity to get together and meet other Information Security professionals.  This year's theme will be "Data Leakage and Data Loss - The New Frontier".

BCS ISSG ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Wednesday 13th May 2009.

Venue to be advised later.

Every year we hold a free event in conjunction with our Annual General Meeting, usually at the premises of a major supplier of Information Security products.  A number of presentations on topics related to the business area of our host are followed by the formal business of the Annual General Meeting.
