Back by popular demand, this conference addresses questions of computer and information system risk management, liability allocation, and crime and punishment.

Anyone who has clients that develop or depend on the security of their computer systems - including law firms themselves - should come. This unique conference brings together lawyers, computer security experts and system developers, presented in collaboration wtih The Agora, one of the nation's premiere associations of information security professionals; InfraGard, a national association of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, other law enforcement agencies, and private enterprises in collaboration to share information about computer security incidents and events affecting critical infrastructure; and the WSA Security Special Interest Group, the principal forum for security-oriented Washington State software and information system developers and vendors.
