InfraGard New Mexico Conference on “Identity in the 21st Century”


FBI Albuquerque

RSA, a company whose computer security products are used by many government agencies, corporations, banks, and other customers, suffered what it called “an extremely sophisticated cyber attack” last year.
What was this “Advanced Persistent Threat” all about, and are there any best practices that companies can use to prepare for and fight similar attacks?
This timely and important presentation will be among several offered in Albuquerque during a February 24 conference called “Identity in the 21st Century.”
The conference is organized by InfraGard New Mexico, an information-sharing partnership between the FBI and the private sector.
The event is open to the public and will be held from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the UNM Science and Technology Park, Rotunda Conference Room, 851 University Blvd SE.
Registration and further information are available at http://nminfraconf.eventbrite.com.
The deadline to register is February 22.
Speakers include:
  • Carol K.O. Lee, Special Agent in Charge, FBI Albuquerque Division.
  • Gerard Gagliano, an identity specialist whose knowledge of trust, identities, and access has made him a prominent presence in the formation of the White House’s National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace steering group and in other conferences and organizations.
  • Mark Ruggiero, a special agent for the U.S. Secret Service for 12 years, has worked many cases involving counterfeiters, identity theft, fraudulent checks and credit cards, and other financial crimes. His presentation is titled, “Fraudulent Checks, Credit Cards, and Identifications.”
  • Todd Wingler, a senior security consultant for Verizon, will discuss the smart phone industries’ efforts to secure customers’ personal information and secure the use of mobile applications.
InfraGard is an association of businesses, academic institutions, state and local law enforcement agencies, and other participants dedicated to sharing information and intelligence to prevent hostile acts against the United States.
