David E. Fenske, Dean of The iSchool at Drexel and Isaac L. Auerbach Professor of Information Science, commented: “We are pleased to host IP3.  Information assurance and related security issues have become the most talked about areas within information technology.”

“Working with the University is a tremendous opportunity,” says Ken Kousky, IP3’s President/CEO.  “Drexel is committed to bringing vital educational programs to the local market, and IT security is a vital and timely topic.  Security vulnerabilities and Internet exploits are exploding just as corporations get saddled with increasingly complex regulations.

With cybersecurity a top issue for U.S. corporations and government, information technology education is critical.  As CEOs, executives, managers and IT professionals, we are held accountable to a variety of information security laws and regulations, including Department of Defense Directive 8570, Sarbanes-Oxley, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, GLBA and HIPAA,” says Kousky. 

In 2007, the Department of Homeland Security established the Essential Body of Knowledge (EBK) to establish a national baseline representing the essential knowledge and skills that IT security practitioners should possess.  The 14 EBK domains form the critical roadmap for the 2008 Strategy to Reality curriculum.  They will be addressed along with these top security issues:  Risk Management and Compliance, Cyberlaw, VoIP, Wireless and Virtualization, Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Convergence. 

No single two-day workshop provides as much management and leadership insight for the struggling IT security professional.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is one of 20 cities IP3 will visit during its 2008 national workshop tour.  Cost to attend the seminar ranges from $195 to $895 (with video Apple iPod and one-year podcast subscription for additional CEUs).
