New HTCIA Website!

We felt is was about time to update the Atlantic Canada HTCIA website. We do hope that everyone likes the new layout. We will be updating the site frequently with new IT security related information. Coming soon will be a special "members-only" portal providing access to an Atlantic Canada e-mail list, an online forum and access to member submitted documents, tools, etc. Check back soon! Please let us know if you have any comments or suggestions by sending an e-mail to info@atl-htcia.org

Our Next Chapter Meeting

Check back on our website shortly as we will be posting our final couple of meetings before the summer break. We will be having a meeting in June. The date still has to be confirmed. Meetings take place at the usual locations (i.e. RCMP detachments). We urge all our members to attend and bring a prospective member! We will announce the presentations for this meeting shortly.

Joint CSI/FBI Survey on Computer Security

The Computer Crime and Security Survey is conducted by CSI annually. The aim of this effort is to raise the level of security awareness, as well as help determine the scope of computer crime in the United States. This is a great document that shows "real world" response to what companies, government and non-profits are doing to mitigate the risk of security issues. The 2007 survey (2008 soon to be released) can be downloaded from here.
Also available, is the CSI webcast hosted by CSI Director Robert Richardson.
