ISA President Larry Clinton will be a guest on CNBC’s Power Lunch this afternoon at 1:45pm EST. Mr. Clinton has been invited on the program to discuss the cyber security risks and costs of doing business in China in light of the recently disclosed cyber attacks by China against U.S. business interests.

January 14, Washington Post – (International) Google China cyberattack part of vast espionage campaign, experts say. Computer attacks on Google that the search giant said originated in China were part of a concerted political and corporate espionage effort that exploited security flaws in e-mail attachments to sneak into the networks of major financial, defense and technology companies and research institutions in the United States, security experts said. At least 34 companies — including Yahoo, Symantec, Adobe, Northrop Grumman and Dow Chemical — were attacked, according to congressional and industry sources. Google, which disclosed on Tuesday that hackers had penetrated the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights advocates in the United States, Europe and China, threatened to shutter its operations in the country as a result.

January 13, Washington Post – (International) Google threatens to leave China after attacks on activists’ e-mail. Google said on January 12 that it may pull out of China because of a sophisticated computer network attack originating there and targeting its e-mail service and corporate infrastructure, a threat that could rattle U.S.-China relations, as well as China’s business community. The company said it has evidence to suggest that “a primary goal of the attackers was accessing the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists,” but it said that at least 20 other large companies, including finance, media, and chemical firms, have been the targets of similar attacks. Google said it discovered the attack in December 2009. Industry sources said the attacks were even broader, affecting some 34 firms. Adobe said in a posting on a company blog on January 12 that it had been the subject of a “sophisticated, coordinated attack,” but that no sensitive information had been compromised. Congressional sources said that other targeted companies possibly include Northrop Grumman and Dow Chemical. The hackers directed the attacks on the companies through six Internet addresses linked to servers in Taiwan, which sent commands to targeted computers in the firms, said the head of international cyberintelligence for the Silicon Valley-based cybersecurity research and forensics firm Verisign iDefense, which is helping companies investigate the penetrations. The hackers were sending the data to a large Internet data center in San Antonio called Rackspace, he said. They appeared to be after information on weapons systems from defense firms and were seeking companies’ “source code,” the most valuable form of intellectual property because it underlies the firms’ computer applications, he said. U.S. authorities, including the National Security Agency, are involved in investigating the attacks.

ISAlliance & Aerospace Industries Association Cyber Security Webinar Series Presents : “The Financial Impact of Cyber Risk” Link

Today at 2 Eastern

ISAlliance & AIA are pleased to offer an exciting webinar: The Financial Impact of Cyber Risk . This webinar is brought to you FREE of charge thanks to the sponsorship of Zurich North America.

How does your company protect against the financial catastrophe that can result from cyber risk? Cyber security is not just a technical issue to be solved by “the geeks.” To properly manage the financial impact of cyber risk, CEOs and CFOs must first ask the right questions. Adopting a holistic risk management strategy in advance of an adverse event is a critical step that could prevent huge financial losses. Virtually every company has calculated the benefits of electronic business into its business plans. Unfortunately, companies often fail to account for the financial downside that may result from cyber security attacks. Consequently, adequate protections are not in place that could prevent catastrophic losses. This webinar will provide guidance to identify and quantify financial risks related to information security using an entertaining and informative role play: The scenario involves a CEO interacting with the C Suite legal, communications, information, security, risk management and HR executives as a major data breach unfolds.

Ty R. Sagalow, Chief Innovation Officer, Zurich North America Insurance Company, moderating and playing the CEO role
Joe Buonomo, President, Direct Computer Resources playing the CIO role
Harry Oellrich, Managing Director and Head of the Cyber, Technology and Intellectual Property Practice, Guy Carpenter & Company, LLC playing the corporate risk manager role
Rick Kam, President, ID Experts playing the corporate communications role
Regan Adams, Esq., CIPP, Founder & CEO , Cyber Security Assurance, LLC playing Chief Legal Counsel
In addition to being extremely informative, you will actually enjoy this entertaining and humorous role play. The setting: As a major data breach unfolds, our CEO interacts with the C Suite team. Join us for this webinar to learn and enjoy!

Je vais participer à la conférence Podcamp – Montréal la fin de semaine prochaine. J’y donne une conférence intitulée: Le podcast comme outil en éducation. Lors de cette conférence, je parlerai de mes expériences avec les Podcast et vidéocast à l’Université de Sherbrooke depuis 2006 et à l’Université Populaire Hochelaga-Maisonneuve depuis 2008. Mes podcast vidéo (videocast), disponible sur Google Video, youTube ou ailleurs ont été visionnés des milliers de fois sur internet. Sur mon site de WebTV ( http://www.livestream.com/LegerTV ), il y a eu plus de 5000 heures de visionnement. Certains de mes podcast sont accessibles seulement aux étudiants inscrits, j’expliquerai pourquoi… et tenterai de comprendre, avec vous, pourquoi j’ai reçu des menaces de mise en demeure d’une Faculté universitaire réfractaire au changement.

J’expliquerai aux enseignants comment combiner l’enseignement magistral, le podcast, Twitter, FaceBook, les WiKi, LMS et les nouveaux médias en général pour créer une expérience d’apprentissage adaptée aux étudiants 2.0 qui plairait à Piaget, Skinner et McLuhan. Je parlerai aussi de mes expériences en éducation populaire et avec les aînés. Je parlerai des outils, des coûts et du processus.

Le cours d’apprentissage en ligne sur HL7 est fondamentalement différent d’un cours magistral. Il s’agit d’un atelier Web comprenant des exercices guidés offrant un enseignement basé sur la pratique et les exemples.

Pendant ce cours, les participants apprendront comment :

• aborder un projet touchant l’interopérabilité entre des systèmes d’information sur la santé disjoints
• lire les normes HL7 les plus utilisées;
• déterminer les besoins en matière de vocabulaire contrôlé, de fichiers principaux et de registres des entités;
• lire et écrire des messages HL7 V2.X;
• lire et écrire des messages HL7 V3;
