Lab Computer Security Forum on Tuesday, Feb. 23 Computer security is quite a hot topic in today's world. It seems a new computer virus spreads almost every day. Web sites are hacked and their content maliciously manipulated. Passwords are stolen as they pass over "the net." Privacy and security concerns pervade electronic commerce discussions. Sensitive information is stolen or otherwise compromised. In his role as the Lab's Computer Protection Program Manager, Jim Rothfuss is responsible for protecting Berkeley Lab computers from outside hackers, viruses, Trojan horses and the like. And with the Y2K problem looming, he's also part of the Lab effort making sure that computers on the Hill are up and running securely on Jan. 1, 2000. On Tuesday, Feb. 23, Rothfuss will hold the Lab's first Computer Protection Program Open Forum. The forum will be held from 10:30 a.m. to noon in the Bldg. 50 auditorium. Rothfuss will give a short, bird's eye view of the computer protection program at Berkeley Lab and talk a little about near-term activities. The rest of the time will be open for questions and answers. Although the forum is geared toward those who play an active role in the care and feeding of computer systems, all interested employees are encouraged to attend.
