abstract: Mass mailing viruses are a thing of the past; messaging threats now encompass worries about protecting more than just email. From IM, blogs and wikis, to VoIP and unified communications, messaging security has become more about compliance, data leakage, e-discovery and intellectual property theft.

The threats to messaging platforms have expanded in size and increased in intensity. While viruses, spam and phishing continue to undermine email security, new messaging threats via IM, VoIP and mobile devices are emerging. This 1-day seminar provides an in-depth

abstract: The ubiquitous nature of information and communication today is often cited as the cause of many security and privacy problems including identity and reputation management, viruses/worms and phishing/pharming. There is strong evidence, however, that this abundance of information and communication has at least as many security and privacy benefits as costs. Consider for example, the use of machine learning algorithms to detect network intrusions, crowd-based approaches to anonymous communication and the use of data mining algorithms to determine content sanitization. All of these efforts benefit from recent advances in AI, which have often been driven by increases in the amount of available data.

To fully realize the security and privacy benefits of today's ubiquitous information, the security community needs expertise in the tools and techniques for managing that information, namely, artificial intelligence technology, and the AI community needs an understanding of security and privacy problems. To facilitate an exchange of ideas between these two communities, we are holding the first workshop in "AISec" in conjunction with the 15th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS), the new field of security and privacy solutions that leverage AI technologies. Our full-day workshop will be a mix of technical papers and position papers with ideas for AISec's future.

abstract: The need to consider privacy has been widely recognized in society at large, with resulting impact on government, commerce, education, health care, entertainment, and other sectors. This workshop discusses the problems related to privacy in the global interconnected society and their possible solutions. The 2008 Workshop, held in conjunction with the ACM CCS conference, is the seventh in a yearly forum for papers on all the different aspects of privacy in today's electronic society.

abstract: Make your plans now to join us in Albany for the Fourth Annual New York State Cyber Security Awareness Conference! The focus for this year's conference is protecting teenagers online. Surveys estimate that more than 90% of teens use the Internet; social networking sites, blogs and other online activities have become an integral part of life for many teens. The need for all of us to understand the risks and take the right steps for safety online is crucial.

This FREE event, held each October in recognition of National Cyber Security Awareness Month , will feature sessions for parents, educators, law enforcement, students and others concerned with online safety. The conference offers dynamic keynote presentations
