Kevin Flanagan – RSA Security
Speaker topic: Security Implications of Cloud Computing

Although cloud computing seems to be a new technology, it has been with us for well over a decade in the form of Application Service Providers and Software As A Service vendors.  These shared computing models can provide significant cost savings and resiliency, but do they put your organization at risk?  This discussion will explore the current trend towards cloud computing and share different approaches that many organizations have leveraged to reduce their exposure while taking advantage of this technology.

Evan Tegethoff – Accuvant
Speaker topic: To be announced

CISSP Prep Course

We will be kicking off our renowned CISSP Prep Class on March 2^nd and follow every Tuesday for the next 12 weeks. This course has helped dozens of people in the Columbus area prepare for and earn their CISSP designation. This course can also be used to earn CPEs for other certifications or learn more about information security. This course is run similar to a graduate-school course, and offers what we feel is an unparalleled opportunity to study the CISSP Body of Knowledge. Contact Rick Blanch for more information, also check the Central Ohio ISSA website on the Education tab.
