Dear Friends of the DC Chapter of the ACM:

The DC Chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), in
collaboration with the student ACM chapter at George Washington
University, proudly presents the May 2007 Lecture:

Speaker:  Dr. Steven M. Bellovin

Steven Bellovin is a professor in the Computer Science department at
Columbia University, where he does research on networks, security, and
why the two don't get along.  He is a member of the National Academy
of Engineering and has served as a Security Area director for the
Internet Engineering Task Force.  He is a co-author of the book
"Firewalls and Internet Security: Repelling the Wily Hacker", as well
as the author of a number of RFCs and technical papers.

As a graduate student he was one of the creators of USENET.


Topic:  Realistic Security

A discussion of the security problems faced by companies in today's
Internet.  The talk will cover security policy, threat analysis,
defense in depth, and designing acceptable security that acknowledges
corporate culture, buggy code, failed hardware, and uncooperative
people.

required to attend.

Light refreshments will be served before the lecture.
