“We are honored to have two of the most notable and
respected professional figures in their fields of practice,” noted Eduard J.
Emde, CPP, president, ASIS. “Mr. Wallace’s experience and unique political
perspective will offer ASIS 2012 attendees incredible insight into the
inner-workings of American government and presidential campaigning. Likewise,
Dr. Tyson will most certainly challenge, engage and intrigue our audience as he
shares his knowledge of a world beyond our own.”
Wallace is the host of FOX News Sunday with Chris Wallace
(FNS), Fox Broadcasting Company’s Sunday morning public affairs program. He
also contributes to the network’s political and election news coverage. He
joined the Fox Network in 2003. As the director of the Hayden Planetarium and
the face of PBS NOVA Science NOW, Dr. Tyson is one of the most respected
practitioners in his field. A published author, he will soon be hosting The
Cosmos Series.
“Security threats know no boundaries. Offering
professionals fresh, broad perspectives are the reason (ISC)² and ASIS joined
forces in the first place,” added W. Hord Tipton, CISSP-ISSEP, CAP, executive
director for (ISC)². “The leadership these gentlemen embody will surely inspire
all who attend and give them ideas they can apply to their unique
environments.”
ASIS 2012 and the second annual (ISC)2 Security Congress
will take place September 10-13, 2012, in Philadelphia, Pa., USA. These
education and networking events will bring together more than 20,000 security
professionals from more than 90 countries for education, networking, and an
expansive exhibit floor of security products and services.
More than 200 educational sessions will be presented at
this year’s event, including expanded IT security offerings from (ISC)2. The
exhibition area will feature more than 230,000 net square feet of the latest
security technology and innovations, providing a showcase for more than 700
companies demonstrating cutting-edge products and services that are shaping the
security industry today.
Registrants of either conference will gain access to each
event’s education sessions and the exhibit hall. Both organizations also will
offer review courses for their respective certifications, as well as separate,
members-only activities.
Registration and housing for ASIS 2012 and the (ISC)2
Security Congress are now open.
