Didzis Dove of DPA spoke with the theme:

Finally got and decided to start to write their thoughts back page about the IS and IT security to the public. Long thought whether it is worth spending the occupation time, however, I concluded - neizmēģināsi - neuzzināsi. I will begin with an experiment on how far this blog will go on at the time in order to understand whether this thought was the right to life. The last "for" back page blog writing appeared at ISACA and CERT conference on IT security. back page I want to outline your thoughts and revisited that maybe in the future one of my opinion, the conference organizers bring.
So, was held on 23 October IT Security Conference "Our information back page security - the future key to success", organized by the CERT together with ISACA. Although the audience was exactly the people who are related to a greater or lesser degree with IT security, observe the visitors, which IT security is an abstract concept, but has an interest. It's not bad, not at all. Just would not like to think that most of them were government employees whose attendance motivation was associated with the ability to take a break from the work environment or was it forced a voluntary measure. Overall, the conference was attended by around 400 people, which can be considered a success for our small country. In comparison, for example, in Sweden visited security conference last year, which was attended by about 600 people, a figure that seems to me very good.
John Pink from the Defence Ministry opened the news conference with IT security strategy, which is still in the process. The most interesting part of the whole story is the moment for financing our kibersargiem - for approximately 600 000 lats. Sounds a lot already, but in reality it all depends on the distribution. It is no secret that a good IT security professionals have to pay and do not pay cheap. The second moment, the right tools for safety assessment, analysis and protection costs money - when the top is raised the price of licenses and training, certification costs, then realize it at the right amount of investment is nothing. I do not think that our kibersargi handled only with Wireshark, BackTrack and the best Burp (which also costs money). Liked the idea of a private-public cooperation in cyber security issues, citing the example of Finland.
Egon W. Bush in his presentation, primarily, ran through back page the history of ISACA and the existing statistics. Promotējot idea to sort the certificates. Generally during the conference highlighted many only to certificates for me personally back page it seems really impractical. World bums on security certificates have already dropped because it is associated with a tendency to the existence of a certificate does not indicate the holder's professionalism. back page
Presentation of Lauri Palkmeta of ENISA and its activities both directions seemed interesting. Since it was the English had felt tightness back page in the hall, as Lauri talking, looked back page alarmed and moments quietly spoke. Judging by his presentation dealt with ENISA exciting back page things: the forensic evidence collection. It's a pity, you can not be a separate workshop with Lauri Palkmetu, where he will talk in more detail about the mobile device malware and the like.
After a nearly two-hour introductory session first starts up with Lattelecom presentation "Wifi Security Challenges - Lattelecom experience." Honestly - Nowhere challenges related to security did not see the presentation. At least did not remain in the memory. More looked back page after marketing-type material, but I wanted back page something more technical. Perplexed by the answer to the question of Lattelecom reaction that their public wifi can be used as a tool for malicious purposes. The only thing that I personally liked was Lattelecom comparison with the road builders and the state, which play a role in the way a police officer. There I both agree.
The next three presentations I would not want to stop at all. Because I came to the conference hoping to find out if either no new information on the development of IS security Latvian, then at least to see what the new enthusiasts in the field of studying and trying to do. Marketing I personally only causes negative emotions. Such things, however, leave the appropriate measures, such as the same DSS organized back page November 7. I would not like to see the future of our IT security back page field - to one another thereby to procure finished products as a universal remedy for all ills. Either I personally have an allergic reaction to events, when I trying to feed what products hiding under the fear of telling how bad it is with IT security, based on the latest trends / research back page / statistics (insert necessary). Maybe some of it seemed interesting.
Didzis Dove of DPA spoke with the theme: "Data security and the human factor, using mobile devices in a wireless back page network." Great surprise was not the only show last wardriving statistics about Riga - honestly, nothing much has changed from the statistics gathered for 4 or 5 years back to preparing a presentation on wireless network security ISACA seminar. below Didzis showed how careless conference visitors are actively using available wifi interception
