February 2010

CIP is co-hosting with Security Analysis and Risk Management Association (SARMA) a One Day Conference on The Relevance of Risk Management and Information Sharing

POSTPONED UNTIL EARLY MARCH: Risk and Information-Sharing Conference

In light of significant new snow accumulations expected tomorrow and Wednesday, immediately following the recent massive snowstorm that has shut down much of the Washington region, we have decided to postpone our February 10th conference on "The Relevance of Risk Management and Information Sharing to Homeland Security" until the first half of next month.

The conference will be held at the same location on the Arlington Campus of George Mason University. We are in the final stages of securing an exact date, and will communicate that information to you before the end of this week. Refunds will of course be available to all paid registrants who are unable to attend on the alternate conference date.

Our apologies for any inconvenience or disruption this may cause you.

The Center for Infrastructure Protection is pleased to announce a new international partnership with Poste Italiane

The Center for Infrastructure Protection is pleased to announce a new international partnership with Poste Italiane, the leading postal services operator in Italy.  On October 29, the Center for Infrastructure Protection signed a research agreement with Poste Italiane, which operates in Rome, Italy, to collaborate on cyber security research.  This represents a leap forward for the Center’s international and cyber security research programs.  The agreement was formally signed by the Center’s Director, General Claude “Mick” Kicklighter, and Poste Italiano CEO and Managing Director, Massimo Sarmi, in a ceremony at the Center’s offices in the Truland Building on Mason’s Arlington campus.  The two men signed the agreement underneath the Italian and American flags, symbolizing the international nature of their collaboration.

 

Poste Italiane not only manages Italy’s postal service but also provides a group of related products, such as communications, logistics, and financial services.  They are currently in the process of establishing a Cyber Security Center of Excellence in Rome, Italy.   This Center of Excellence will have a global focus and partner with other international and national organizations to further the field of cyber security research and create a community of stakeholders around the world to pursue these issues.  It will also include training and education programs to help identify threats and prepare the international community for solutions. 

 

Mason, working through the Center for Infrastructure Protection, will have the opportunity to collaborate on joint cyber security research and development, advise on cyber initiatives and policy developments, assist in developing international cyber cooperation, develop and conduct training or other cyber security educational efforts, and exchange academic materials and other information.

 

The Center for Infrastructure Protection is proud to be implementing this international relationship and advancing its mission of studying and solving infrastructure protection related issues across all sectors, especially the Cyber Sector, one of the most fastest-growing.  This is the beginning of a fruitful collaboration.
