The Internet Security Conference to Expose Hacking

Los Gatos, California--- March 12, 2001--- Pointing the way to a more
secure
Internet, The Internet Security Conference (TISC) will present ULTIMATE
HACKING, an intense two-day, hands-on workshop conducted by Hacking
Exposed author, George Kurtz, and the Foundstone security team.

To be held June 4-8, 2001 at the Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles,
TISC is the industry leading technical event addressing the issues of
safeguarding E-business, enterprise networks and virtual corporations
from attack. During its comprehensive 5-day curriculum on secure
computing and internetworking, TISC offers the most accomplished and
recognized experts in the security industry who expose hacking and
provide attendees with the tools they need to help protect their
networks, and to conduct successful forensic analysis should they fall
prey to attackers.

The TISC ULTIMATE HACKING course is the definitive training for learning
how to perform "tiger team" and attack penetration assessments.
Participants will learn how to identify, exploit, and mitigate well- and
little-known vulnerabilities within Windows NT, 2000, and UNIX systems.
"At the end of the day, participants will have the opportunity to assess
and exploit a simulated "secured" network with multiple operating
systems and security mechanisms," explained Dave Piscitello, president
of Core Competence and TISC founder and conference chair. "This
high-level of training gives CTOs and CIOs the tools and experience they
need to secure their own networks."

ULTIMATE HACKING is a limited seating offering. To accommodate overflow,
Foundstone will present an additional WEB HACKING workshop. Both
Foundstone courses complement workshops presented by TISC faculty of
leading researchers and practitioners in the network security field
including: Stephen Kent, Radia Perlman, George Kurtz, Phil Cox, Tina
Darmohray, Joel Snyder, Jim Jones, Charlie Kaufman, Lisa Phifer, among
many more.

In addition to anti-hacking, TISC Security Symposium topics will present
auditing and penetration testing, scalable security through PKI, VPNs,
digital rights management, intrusion and anomaly detection, wireless
security, network forensics, risk assessment, incident response, secure
programming, and more. Special features announced to date include the
5th Annual Security Products Showcase, CEO RoundTable and TISC Clue
Award Presentation. Peer-reviewed Invited Papers will also be presented
during TISC.

The 2nd Annual TISC CLUE Award, which seeks to recognize outstanding
lifetime achievement in the sharing of knowledge regarding Internet
security systems issues, design and deployment, will be awarded
Wednesday, June 6th. The TISC CLUE Award presentation is one of a full
afternoon of events open to the public free of charge.

Registration is now open to professionals wishing to stay on top of the
latest technology, product and practice innovations needed to achieve
security in an online environment. Conference and workshop tuition
