1. WHAT IS NAISG

The National Information Security Group (NAISG) is pleased to announce that
it will be launching a chapter for the metropolitan Atlanta area.  NAISG is
an information security association with members and chapters around the
world and which offers security presentations, networking opportunities and
other resources.  Unlike other security organizations, there are no dues,
fees or qualifications associated with membership.  Please join us at our
chapter's kickoff meeting to learn more about our group and the valuable
resources that it can offer you.  Oh, and did we mention the free pizza?


2. NOVEMBER KICK-OFF

The Atlanta Chapter of NAISG is proud to announce our kick-off meeting. It
will be November 12th at 7:00 PM. Pizza and refreshments will be provided
from 7:00 to 7:30. Then Bradley Dinerman, President and Chair of the Boston
Chapter, will be giving a talk on Employee Monitoring and Surveillance. We
look forward to seeing all of you.

Location:
Upgrade IT Consulting Services
3030 Royal Blvd. South
Suite 220
Alpheretta, GA 30022

3. THINGS TO COME

The members of the Advisory Counsel and I are very excited about some of the
future presenters and topics. We are looking forward to having some of the
top talent from the Atlanta area come and present on topics ranging from
Compliance issues to Encryption.

4. CHAPTER LEADERSHIP

Ian Philpot - Atlanta Chairperson
Andy Willingham - Advisory Counsel
Renault Ross - Advisory Counsel

5. SPREAD THE WORD

If you know of individuals who would like to join our chapter or form new
ones in their area, please point them to http://www.naisg.org for signup
information.

6.  LOOKING FOR PRESENTERS AND SPONSORS

The Atlanta chapter is looking for people interested in presenting to our
group. The presentation must be vendor neutral and is not an opportunity to
promote one vendor or solution over another. We are also looking for
Sponsors willing to provide us a permanent Location to host the meetings.
We're expecting this group to grow and attract many of the best security
experts in the area and will be great exposure for any company. We
anticipate 20-50 people to attend regularly based on other groups
performance.

7.  ONLINE RESOURCES

NAISG has just reformatted its Resources page, breaking it down by category
such as antivirus, antispam, firewalls, etc.  We are soliciting white
papers, blog URLs, products to list and more to add as resources to these
pages, so please send these our way and we'll add your listing.  (And of
course, we continue to maintain the Internet bandwidth test utility as one
additional tool available to our membership. This tool is hosted on our own
server and provides accurate readings of upload and download speeds. Just
click the Start button on the page to initiate the test.
