Information Security Geek Larry Greenblatt Announces Cyber Kung Fu Relativity Week Conference

Jan. 31, 2008 - PRLog -- Larry Greenblatt, the originator of the Cyber Kung Fu information security training program and a foremost expert in information security, has announced the dates of his much anticipated Cyber Kung Fu Relativity Week Conference in Philadelphia.  

Participants can attend the entire Internet Security Relativity Week conference for free between March 10th and 14th, 2008. Attendees can register the Relativity Week Information Security Conference for free and sign up to receive updated information about the conference at http://www.internetworkdefense.com/relativity-week-2008.

Mixing nearly three decades of network operations experience, martial arts training and humor, Cyber Kung Fu is about street-wise security.  Just as in martial arts, security is more than technology but is a defined process to train and motivate people to follow procedures.

“Relativity Week promises to be an event like no other, for information security specialists to learn standards based security management principles and network with other Cyber Jedi Knights and Padawans. We’ll also have exciting martial arts demonstrations by the Zen One Dance Collective and the Martial Posture Demo Team to take the excitement and fun to the next level and to demonstrate the similarities between information security and fine martial arts,” says Larry, host of the Relativity Week Conference.

During the Relativity Week Conference, attendees will learn about international standards and best practices of information security including the ISO, NIST, BSI, and SPRING.  

Attendees will also learn important tips on how to effectively apply these standards for managing information security and increase the likelihood of passing Information security certifications such as CISSP, Security +, CISM CEH, and CISA ECSA.

“It is the things you think you know that turn out to be wrong that cause the most damage. Just as the most effective attack in street fighting is the ‘sucker punch’ the most successful cyber attacks are from assumed trusted entities.  This is why social engineering, phishing and invalid input attacks are so dangerous. This event promises to make the attendee more ‘street wise’ in their defenses,” says Greenblatt.

In addition to learning from Larry Greenblatt himself, attendees will also have the opportunity to meet and listen to the wisdom of world-renowned security practitioners including Richard Thieme, Clement Dupuis, Ralph Echemendia, Tom Updegrove, Marie Murphy, Ron Wood and the Zen One Dance Collective, The Martial Posture Demo Team, Max Quasar & The Time Travelers and more.
