Tune in Jan. 4 for a Free Web Seminar on the Role Insularity Plays in Computer Security Failings

Why is it risky for technologists to ignore the nontechnical context where their systems will be deployed? Furthermore, what is the risk when policymakers ignore the limits and potential of technology? How can we structure dialogue between technologists and policymakers to address what could be termed as "security failings"—to revisit identity theft, electronic voting machines, digital rights management, and network neutrality?

In this free January 4 EDUCAUSE LIVE! seminar, What Price Insularity? Reflections About Computer Security Failings, presenter Fred Schneider, professor of computer science, Cornell University, will consider these and other questions.

Those unable to attend may wish to visit the archives after the event or browse related EDUCAUSE resources on Security Management, Identity Theft, and Cybersecurity Policy.
