In keeping with the EH-Net tradition of giving away prizes with a focus on education and career advancement, we again are offering free seats at a major conference. At stake this month is a free passport ticket to SC World Congress 2009 worth $1500. In addition to dozens of other presentations from esteemed security leaders, the conference has four information tracks designed to increase the security professionals' knowledge: Policy/Management, Emerging Threats/Risk Planning, Editor’s Choice and Technical requirements and advances. Through these tracks, attendees will examine topics ranging from data theft and compliance to establishing partnerships between government and the private sector, security awareness to critical infrastructure protection, and from SCADA attacks to cyberwarfare.

"For an entire year - since the success of our inaugural SC World Congress – we've been working to solicit input from our readers' about what they want to experience at the East Coast’s largest security event, and working to build an agenda that exceeds their expectations," said Illena Armstrong, editor-in-chief, SC Magazine. "We are proud to say that for the 2009 SC World Congress, we have put together the most comprehensive and exciting roster of informative experts, special events and talk tracks to share the latest and greatest the information security world has to share."
