>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Tuesday, September 11th meeting of the Rocky Mountain Internet
Users Group (RMIUG) will discuss "The State Cyber-terrorism and
Malware 6 Years After 9/11"

Our next meeting will be held on the sixth anniversary of the worst
terrorist attacks on United States soil.

That fretful day has been marred in our psyche as the day we no longer
felt safe: not with transportation, not safe going to work. Our
physical world will never be the same.

What about our cyber-world? Has it suffered the same types of attacks?

Our best estimates say that there hasn't been a large scale attack
against our digital infrastructures like the ones on our physical
structures had on September 11th. I mean, has anyone noticed that
large scale outages of the Internet?

Or are we more vulnerable than we think?

To help us explore this topic, we are pleased to welcome the following
speakers:
Gerhard Eschelbeck (geschelbeck@...) is the chief technology
officer and senior vice president of engineering at Webroot Software,
Inc., Gerhard is responsible for developing and driving the company's
overall product strategy. He also manages Webroot's development and
threat research teams, and further expands the capabilities of
Webroot's Phileas, the industry's first and only automated spyware
research system. He was named one of InfoWorld's 25 Most Influential
CTOs in 2003 and 2004, and received this honor a third time in 2006 as
Webroot chief technology officer and senior vice president of
engineering. Gerhard holds masters and PhD degrees in computer science
from the University of Linz, Austria.

Dirk Anderson (Dirk.Anderson@...) is the Director of
IT Governance and Compliance Services for Coalfire Systems, Inc. His

The meeting is Tuesday, July September 10th 11th from 7:00 - 9:00 pm
(with optional 6:30 pm start for refreshments and informal
networking). The meeting will be held at The National Center for
Atmospheric Research (NCAR) at 1850 Table Mesa Drive in Boulder. To
get to NCAR from the Boulder Turnpike (US 36) or Broadway (US 93),
take Table Mesa Drive west towards the mountains for approximately 2.5
miles into the foothills. NCAR is at the top of the hill. For
door-to-door driving directions, go to MapQuest
(http://www.mapquest.com/), click on Driving Directions, enter your
starting address, NCAR's address, and voila! Park in the NCAR lot, go
in the main door, and ask the guard to point you to meeting, which is
held in the main auditorium, right off the lobby. The meeting is free
and open to the public, but we may pass the hat to help defray expenses.

Our meeting location seats about 120 people. That is usually enough
room to accommodate all attendees, but it's impossible for us to
predict how many people will show up for any given meeting. Seating is
always on a first-come, first serve basis, and in the event of more
attendees than seats, we won't be able to admit additional people into
the auditorium after all seats are filled.

Please note that RMIUG is hosted at NCAR and we are their guests. NCAR
has security regulations in effect that we must follow in order to use
the facility. If any RMIUG attendee is unwilling to follow these
simple regulations, I would ask that he or she not attend and instead
read the minutes after the meeting.

Here are the NCAR security policies that must be followed:

1. No weapons.
2. Must sign in at front desk and provide name.
3. Cooperate with security folks including providing ID if requested.
4. We are guests of NCAR so cooperation and courtesy are expected when
dealing with NCAR staff.

If there are any questions or concerns with this policy, please
contact me directly.
Thanks, Josh Zapin (josh@...).
