* Specific Countermeasures: From labs, other companies, commercial
vendors.
The Conference traditionally covers recent outbreaks and experiments;
virus/intruder prevention, detection and recovery; product
demonstrations and ratings; and special attention to LAN, PBX, SNA,
OSI, E-Mail, and legal issues.
This year's focus topics are as follows:
* Prevention, detection and recovery from viruses and other harmful
computer programs.
* Original research on these and related topics.
* Recovery from the Wall Street Blackout and the Novell Virus.
* Case studies of computer and network security.
* Surveys of products and techniques available.
* Computer crime and related actions.
The bound Proceedings will include both the accepted papers and also
discursive articles by the invited speakers. There will be four
concurrent conference tracks each day:
Thursday will feature the Main Track, Products Track, Research
Papers, and a special Trap & Prosecute track geared to law
enforcement and criminal justice personnel.
Friday will feature Main, Products, and Research tracks, and a How
to Recover track strongly requested by returning attendees from
last year.
In the past, this conference has been featured in BYTE, CIO, Communications
(ACM), Computer (IEEE), Computerworld, Data Communications, Data Center
Manager, Datamation, Info World, Macintosh News, MIS Week, Network World,
and Unix Review. It is sponsored by the Data Processing Management
Association Financial Industries Chapter in cooperation with ACM SIGSAC and

Could we PLEASE PLEASE get the submissions to this conference posted on Usenet or at least made available via FTP and/or mail archive servers? This sort of stuff is extremely important to administrators and users everywhere; so much that the typical "You can get a xerox of the proceedings by mailing us 1/5 your monthly salary at..." needs to be done away with, and the results of this call for papers made available to everyone. Perhaps if you're thinking of submitting something to this conference, you will copyright it with restrictions that force reasonable cost (say $.03 per page) redistribution, and take steps to make your paper available to the Usenet community for free.
