The
Anatomy of a Computer Intrusion – How the Dalai Lama’s computers were
compromised, and how you can prevent it from happening to you.
Have
you ever wondered how hackers break into computer systems, and what
happens when a computer is compromised? Many people believe a hacked
computer will be a mere inconvenience because their computer will be
shutdown, or the operating system will stop working temporarily. In
reality, professional hackers’ intent is to go undetected on users’
computers for monetary gain, extortion, espionage, or other reasons.
Earlier
this year an intrusion was detected on the computer network of the
Dalai Lama, and other computers around the world. The intrusion was
discovered and detailed by a Canadian computer research organization.
In
this webinar we will walk through the techniques used by the hackers to
gain access to the computers of the Dalai Lama and computers in
government offices, embassies, and companies around the world. You will
learn how spyware was used to offload sensitive documents from these
computers, and how the hackers were able to monitor the computer’s users in real-time for nearly two years. You will also learn how this intrusion, and similar threats to your computers can be prevented.

ATTENTION HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS – Learn about the new regulations outlined in the HITECH Act.
Nestled within the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
(ARRA) was the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical
Health Act (HITECH Act). The HITECH Act provides 22 billion dollars in
funding to advance the use of electronic medical records by health care
providers. With this funding comes requirements to protect these
records, and this Act creates the first federally mandated data breach
notification requirements for electronic protected health information.
Further, the HITECH Act now requires HIPAA Privacy and Security
compliance by business associates such as billing companies, accounting
firms, and others that provide services to HIPAA covered entities.
Our presenter, John Albertini, is an experienced information security
professional who maintains a Certified HIPAA Security Specialist, and

HIPAA Security programs for national healthcare organizations including
the clinics at the Kennedy Space Center and New York Stock Exchange.
Join us to learn more about the HITECH Act requirements, some suggested
solutions, and items to watch as the computer information security
requirements for this Act develop.
Protecting Your Children from Inappropriate Web Content
The
Internet offers children outstanding opportunities for educational
growth and fun, but it also raises legitimate concerns about the risks
of this seemingly boundless medium. Along with information about
spaceships and dinosaurs and downloads of pop music can come
hate-speech, violent imagery, cult messages—and pornography. How can
parents deal with this dark side of modern technology and still allow
children to explore the cyber
world? - NetSafekids
• 1 in 4 youth have unwanted exposure to inappropriate pictures each year - Internet Keep Safe Coalition
• Nine of 10 kids aged 8-16 have viewed pornography on the Internet, often in the process of doing homework - London School of Economics
In
this session we will walk through several techniques parents can use to
restrict and monitor their children’s web activity, as well as explore
the resources available for parents to learn more about protecting
their children in a connected world.
