Why Should You Attend:

While there can be undeniable benefits from the collaborative, interactive and distributed approaches promoted by the use of social media, the information security concerns are real and significant. The presentation will describe how Web 2.0 services, especially social networking sites, are being used; the potential security risks associated with the use of these services; and provide guidance for organizations and end users to help them protect themselves and their information from the myriad cyber security scams and risks inherent in the use of social media.

The National Webcast Initiative: The Department of Homeland Security’s National Cyber Security Division and the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) have partnered to establish the National Webcast Initiative comprising a series of national webcasts that examine critical and timely cyber security issues. Embracing the concept that security is everyone’s responsibility, these webcasts are available to a broad audience to help raise awareness and knowledge levels. A number of vendors have offered their services at no cost, to help develop and deliver the webcasts.

The National Webcast Initiative is also coordinated by the N.Y. State Office of Cyber Security and Critical Infrastructure Coordination and the N.Y. State Forum. For more information about the Initiative, please visit: http://www.msisac.org/webcast/.
