Stephen Wu, Esq., InfoSec Law Group

Lauren Gelman, Stanford CIS, Moderator
Vincent Weafer, Symantec
Stephanie Fohn, Consultant
Vincent: Patching can be very expensive, and it's not always the most cost-effective way to solve the problem. Segmenting the network can help lower the urgency of patching and thus lower cost, but isn't a foolproof solution by any means. Transparency is important - simplify the patching process, and users will be more willing & able to cooperate. Read more about Policies & Practices Encouraging Patch Installation
Lunch & first afternoon session
By admin on November 22, 2003 at 2:37 pm
1230-1345 Lunch
Lunch was great. Salmon (I think - I usually just eat whatever is put in front of me) with greens and potatoes. More potatoes and less salmon would've been good. Conversation was excellent. Talked to Jake W. and Heather Ford about global politics, NGOs, different dysfunctional aspects of different cultures, privacy, communism, capitalism, paranoia, etc. I was going to skip dessert, but that cake looked really good. And it was.
I'm feeling sharper this afternoon than I felt this morning. Food helped a lot.
