So who's going to OSCON 2006?  I am, and if you are too, drop me a line so we can meet up.  I'm also going to be "moderating" a PHP Security BOF meet, so if you have some interest in PHP Security or secure web dev in general, come by and participate in the chaos. If you're planning on going, make sure to check out the official wiki and the OSCamp wiki.

Our superfriends at Sun were kind enough to bless us with 13 new servers today: 10 Sun Fire X2100s and 3 Sun Fire X4200s: Sun has been one of CERIAS' biggest supporters over the years, and their monetary and hardware contributions have been invaluable. These new machines will be put to good use in experiments, handling our Sun Ray clients, and making our web sites run a zillion times faster. Wee!

CERIAS is pleased to announce the launch of a new initiative to increase the security of K-12 information systems nationwide. We've developed a comprehensive set of self-paced multimedia training modules for K-12 educators and support staff titled Keeping Information Safe: Practices for K-12 Schools. The goal of these modules is to increase the security of K-12 school information systems and the privacy of student data by increasing teacher awareness of pertinent threats and vulnerabilities as well as their responsibilities in keeping information safe.

The modules are available for free for K-12 teachers, institutions, and outreach organizations.

I recently did an interview with Network World magazine. The topics discussed might well be of interest to readers of this blog. [tags]network security,risk management,diversity,security trends[/tags]
