Invited Speaker - Amit Yoran

Amit Yoran was appointed by President George W Bush as the Administration's official in coordinating the nation's activities in cyber security. Working with the Secretary of Homeland Security, Mr. Yoran coordinated among federal departments, law enforcement and intelligence efforts, as well as direct interaction with many leading IT and IT security companies - particularly focused on the cyber security of the 13 critical infrastructures of the United States.

Prior to joining the Bush Administration, Mr. Yoran was the Vice President of Managed Security Services at the Symantec Corporation. Mr. Yoran was the founder and CEO of Riptech, a market leading IT security company acquired by Symantec in 2002. He previously served an officer in the US Air Force as the Director of Vulnerability Programs for the Department of
Defense's Computer Emergency Response Team and in support of the Assistant Secretary of Defense's Office. Mr. Yoran received a Master of Science degree from the George Washington University and Bachelor of Science from the United States Military Academy at West Point.

Invited Speaker: Stefan Savage, Computer Science Dept., UCSD

Internet Outbreaks: Epidemiology and Defenses
In the time it takes to read this sentence, the 2003 Slammer worm was able to probe over a hundred million Internet hosts. Worse, this attack was both trivial and unsophisticated. Unfortunately, the combination of widespread software homogeneity and unrestricted connectivity has created "perfect storm" conditions for such Internet outbreaks. This talk surveys the concrete threats posed by epidemic attacks, the engineering requirements for meaningful defenses, and the technologies being developed
to protect future systems.
