Our scheduled speaker (John Christiansen) will be unable to attend the March meeting, but I’m excited about the replacement speaker.
Special Agent Daniel Nielsen with the FBI CyberCrime Division will be speaking on Cyber Crime and ID theft. It has been a while since the chapter has had a speaker from the law enforcement or government side of the house and this promises to be an enlightening presentation.
Normal time and place: 3:00 pm at ConWay (2055 NW Savier St. Portland)

ISSA Portland Members, Sponsors and Friends:
Thanks to all of you for boosting our attendance at chapter meetings this year. I’m sure it’s a reflection of the excellent speakers and topics that our Program Directors have put together as well as the work of our Membership Director keeping in touch with you. The simple fact is that we’ve seen lots of new, and not recently seen, faces at the meetings and it’s been great.

ISSA Portland Members, Sponsors and Friends:
Thanks to all of you for our great attendance at our first two chapter meetings of the program year. For those of you who missed one or both of the presentations, check out the chapter website (www.issa-portland.org) for ‘past presentations’. We continue to make improvements to the website and making past presentations available is one of the latest enhancements.
A reminder that our chapter operations wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of our chapter sponsors. Thanks to Structured, Cisco, CA, ATSI, Trend Micro, F5 Networks, TrustCC, Face-to-Face Events, and Credant for supporting the chapter.
Monthly Announcements:
1. Bring a friend or colleague to our meetings. We have gained 14 new chapter members so far in 2007, but we’ve lost 11. The strength of our chapter is in our active members, so spread the word.
2. The 2007 ISSA Northwest Regional Security Conference Will be held on April 23rd in Olympia, WA. Save the date.
3. November Chapter Meeting; Thursday November 15th; 11:30am-2:00pm; Port of Portland building (121 NW Everett Street) - November will be our annual (though we didn’t do it last year) joint meeting with ISACA. This year the topic will be “Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security and Compliance”. Joel Fontenot from Ecora Software will be the speaker. Joel offers a wealth of experience in PCI compliance efforts, but I’m sure between the ISACA and ISSA attendees we will be able to rattle him.
Registration is REQUIRED for this meeting at: www.acteva.com/booking.cfm?bevaID=145484
4. December Chapter Meeting; Thursday December 20th; 3:00pm-6:30pm; Paragon Restaurant in the Pearl District - Our annual ‘Holiday’ meeting will once again be held at the Paragon. Selim Aissi, Manager and Platform Architect with Platform Management and Security at Intel will be presenting on mobile device security. The meeting is planned for our regular time, but we are hopeful that attendees will linger afterward to socialize, eat, and drink.
Keep in touch,

ISSA Portland Members, Sponsors and Friends:
The 2008 Program Year is off to a great start. Our first chapter meeting was well-attended and the presentation from Jon Clay of Trend Micro provided a good insight into the evolution of cybercrime and malware. The new chapter website (http://www.issa-portland.org) provides streamlined access to information about the chapter and it continues to grow as we add more useful information. The chapter reached out and received corporate sponsorships from eight companies. These sponsors provide some financial breathing room to plan valuable, low-cost and free events for the chapter.I have three event announcements to pass along:
1. October Chapter Meeting; Thursday November 15th; 3:00pm-5:30pm; Con-Way - October sees the return of Blackhat and ISSA Portland speaking veteran Jeremiah Grossman who will present “Hacking Intranet Websites from the Outside (Take 2) Fun With and Without JavaScript Malware”. This presentation was a highlight at Blackhat 2007 and having Jeremiah present it in person at ISSA-Portland is a real treat for the chapter. Details
2. November Chapter Meeting; Thursday November 15th; 11:30am-2:00pm; Port of Portland building (121 NW Everett Street) - November will be our annual (though we didn’t do it last year) joint meeting with ISACA. This year the topic will be “Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security and Compliance”. Joel Fontenot from Ecora Software will be the speaker. Joel offers a wealth of experience in PCI compliance efforts, but I’m sure between the ISACA and ISSA attendees we will be able to rattle him. Online registration for this event will be available shortly.
3. ISSA Portland Discount at “SecureWorld Expo, Seattle”The Portland Chapter of ISSA is pleased to announce our support of the 2007 Seattle SecureWorld Expo, October 30-31 at the Meydenbauer Center.Event Highlights: http://www.secureworldexpo.com/events/index.php?id=236.
