The long version:


Press Release:

Tim Mather, Symantec's Chief Information Security Officer to discuss the
 "Changing Environment for Information Security" Monday, May 1

Eugene, OR- The Lane County Chapter of the Software Association of
Oregon (SAO) will
present the "Changing Environment for Information Security" at Symantec's
Springfield site, located at 555 International Way. The presentation on
Monday, May

The event speaker, Tim Mather is Symantec's Chief Information Security
Officer
(CISO), and is a Certified Information Systems Security Professional
(CISSP) and a
Certified Information Systems Manager (CISM). Mr. Mather is co-author of
 The
Executive Guide to Information Security : Threats, Challenges, and
Solutions.  His
book has been described by Google's CFO as "....a fire alarm in the
night for
business executives to realize computer security is not a tech
issue-it's a business
issue worthy of the same attention and priority that business executives
might place
on any other mission-critical element of their company."

In his presentation, Mr. Mather will discuss current changes in
information security
threats, how changes in the business environment impact information
security, and
how both are reshaping the information security profession.

As Symantec's CISO, Mr. Mather is responsible for development of all
information
systems security policies, oversight of implementation of all
security-related
policies and procedures, and all information systems audit-related
activities.  He
also works closely with internal products groups on security capabilities in
Symantec products.  Prior to joining Symantec in September 1999, Mr.
Mather was the
Manager of Security at VeriSign.  Additionally, he was formerly Manager of
Information Systems Security at Apple Computer.  Mr. Mather's experience
also
includes seven years in Washington, D.C. working on secure
communications for a
classified, national-level command, control, communications, and
intelligence (C3I)
project, which involved both civilian and military departments and agencies.

The cost for the presentation is $8 for SAO members and $10 for
