London Calling – Get Ready for RSA Europe!

By Brian Berger, Wave Systems Corp. TCG Marketing Chair and TCG Director

In less than a month, our European security, IT and crypto colleagues will gather at the spiffy ExCel Centre in London to meet and greet some of the most interesting names in the ever-expanding world of making data and systems safer than they are today. Monday, October 27 – Wednesday, October 29 will include a number of interesting sessions, panels and hall conversation. RSA conferences keep growing as more vendors enter into security and as the definition of security has expanded, and we hope to see many of our TCG members and users at this event. Don’t miss the great keynotes and sessions.

Many users out there by now have heard about the Trusted Platform Module and related efforts from TCG and its members, but many still wonder what to do with it. How can the TPM be used? How can it be managed? Does it work with my existing infrastructure? Does it really protect keys, certificates and passwords? We are going to answer those questions in our European version of a very popular hands-on lab we previewed this year at RSA in the United States.

The session, “Trusted Computing in Action: A Hands-On Day to Secure Data and Systems”, will take place on Monday, October 27th 11:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. in the ExCel Centre’s Platinum Room 5/6/7 – Level 2. It is free to attend, but registration is requested at http://www.rsaconference.com/2008/Europe/Agenda/Trusted_Computing_Group_Seminar.aspx. We encourage you to come for all or part of this and see what the TPM really can do. We also will show you very specific examples and demonstrations of trusted storage for the client and in the data center, and we will show you how to protect your networks against threats of all types.

Speaking of networks, NAC, or network access control, remains a very hot topic with many of us. On Wednesday, October 29, 10:30 a.m., TCG’s Trusted Network Connect co-chair and frequent RSA panelist and speaker Steve Hanna will address “NAC 2.0: Unifying Network Security” in the Network Security Track.

Still wondering what to do with that TPM? Brian Berger, also Executive Vice President, Marketing and Sales, Wave Systems Corp., will address the topic of passwords in an RSA technology showcase session “Machine Authentication: Stop the Password Madness with the TPM” on Tuesday, October 28, 11:15 a.m. on the exhibitor floor.

Throughout the show, RSA attendees can see various applications of the Trusted Platform Module, network security and self-encrypting drives in action on the exhibit floor in TCG Stand 4. Please stop by to see these demonstrations, talk with our experts from the work groups, and sign up to win a nice prize!
