October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month. It gives all of us that are security focused the opportunity to spread some information about security and safety to others.

To do our part DC509 is putting on another community outreach event. This time it’s going to be bigger and better than ever. We have 4 speakers on the agenda this time, speaking on a wide variety of topics. To not put the audience to sleep, each speaker will have 15 minutes to speak and 15 minutes for Q&A. Please join us and show support for helping to secure our community.

Security is an integral part of deploying and managing a successful website or web application. I’m was very pleased when Craig Sutton from BrightWeb Marketing asked me to speak at Learn About Web 2008 on web security.

Security is by far not the only thing one has to focus on for a successful business online, but it should be a major concern. The Learn About Web conference has something for everyone via three different tracks Business, Graphics and Design, and Social Media. I will be speaking in the Graphics and Design track on how to build customer trust and loyalty via a properly implemented security program.

Learn About Web 2008 will be held at the Tri-Cities Convention Center on November 7th, 2008. Register today!
