VPN deployment in the Enterprise and Healthcare (HIPAA) to highlight The
Internet Security Conference

February 7, 2000=8B Los Gatos, California=8B The Internet Security
Conference TISC, the most
comprehensive technical event addressing the important issues of
safeguarding enterprise Internet connections, will be held at the Fairmont
Hotel in San Jose, CA, April 24-28.

Sponsored by Core Competence and InfoWorld Magazine, TISC presents
"Security by the Experts," with a faculty of the leading experts,
researchers and practitioners in the network security field today,
including: Fred Avolio, Phil Cox, Tina Darmohray, Bill Hancock, Ray
Kaplan, Stephen Kent, Radia Perlman, Ian Poynter, Marcus Ranum, Char
Sample, Eric Schultze, and many more.

"Virtual Private Networks as they are deployed in healthcare and
enterprise-wide environments will be a major focus for TISC", notes Dave
Piscitello, president of Core Competence and TISC founder. "Everyone
expects VPNs to be the glorious ultimate security solution, but building 
VPNs has been challenging, and remains so. TISC will examine VPN case
studies from people who have designed and built some of the largest
VPN-based networks to date. We'll examine PKI-enabled VPNs and we'll
also explain why VPNs are not always spelled I-P-S-E-C!"

Additional TISC topics include: e-Business security, Intrusion Detection 
and Network Forensics, NT2000 Security, Biometrics, Desktop & Consumer
Security, Secure Network Services, Risk Assessment, Content Filtering,
and more. Special features to date include the 3rd Annual Security
Products Showcase. A significant addition to this year's program is an
Invited Papers Track. "TISC has and will always remain about education,"
Piscitello notes, "invited papers, subjected to peer review, underscore
this." 

Registration is now open to professionals wishing to stay on top of the
latest techniques and products needed to achieve security in an online
environment. Conference and workshop tuition ranges from $250 to $1,795, 
with free admission to the Security Products Showcase.
