Founded in 1996 as the National Colloquium for Information Systems Security Education, the Colloquium has become the leading proponent for implementing courses of instruction in INFOSEC in education.

In June 2002, the NCISSE expanded its mission to include a greater international participation. To reflect this the organization formally changed its name to The Colloquium for Information Systems Security Education or more simply  -- The Colloquium

The Colloquium- 2008: Industrial Cyber Security: A Global Imperative

Security appliances, security practices, security education - - Just when you thought you had all your bases covered, another new piece of malware or new threat vector is released.  While our academic institutions have responded with robust curricula in information assurance, preparing graduates for work in all sectors of industry and government, the work world is continually coping with the changing threat environment, insufficient resources, and employees whose technical training may already be outdated.  This year, The Colloquium is focusing on the harsh reality of supporting security within both small and global companies. You won’t want to miss any of this agenda, packed with industry thought leaders and those tasked with protecting their company’s information assets.  Mark your calendars now, and plan to join your colleagues at The University of Texas at Dallas, June 2nd through 4th, 2008.
