Twenty - Second Annual Computer

My job as conference chair has allowed me to work with an extremely talented group of people committed to bring you the best possible security conference. I sincerely wish to thank them for all their hard work over the course of the year. The ACSAC team has constantly strived to improve the conference. This year we have added a new " behind the scenes " feature of an ACSAC steering committee. The goal of the steering committee is to look at the long-term direction the ACSAC conference needs to go in the changing computer security landscape. The steering committee is made up of past program and conference chairs and other individuals dedicated to the ACSAC mission of providing a solid venue to educate new security practitioners and a forum for discussion new security technology. The ACSAC conference emphasizes practical solutions to real world security problems. Since the real world keeps changing, ACSAC must keep changing as well. Many thanks to the steering committee for bringing their new ideas to ACSAC this year. As conference chair, I would like to also thank you, the attendees, for choosing ACSAC as the venue to share your ideas and to learn. Never hesitate to send us your ideas and comments. This year we have an on-line survey at http://www.acsac.org/survey. Fill in the survey before January 3, 2007 and register for a chance to win an iPod Shuffle.
