Date: Thursday, November 8, 2007
Time: 11:00am EST / 8:00am PT
A critical issue facing many government operations involving multiple entities from both the Public and Private sector is the need for secure, cross domain and firewall communication.
  • Agencies are under pressure to communicate and collaborate in a secure, rapid, productive, and cost effective way.
  • Recognizing the power of today's communication technologies to help cross geographic boundaries and take action in real-time, Web conferencing offers a clear and compelling solution.
  • Many Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) software applications offer proven solutions that meet the rigorous compliance demands and performance requirements mandated by the Federal government.

Don't miss this very timely webinar that will discuss the challenges faced in establishing secure Web collaboration across agencies and offer a solution with an approach that is:
  • Secure - advanced technologies provide for secure information transfer between meeting attendees without reduction in network performance
  • Flexible - great for training, collaborating & large webinars
  • Installable - no hardware or network changes required
  • Scalable - supports one-to-one, small group, and large one-to-many sessions
  • Cost effective - capable of reducing significant travel costs
  • Using technology to support the "Green" initiatives of your department
  • FISMA and 508 compliant

Examples of how some current Federal government agencies are successfully implementing such a solution will also be presented.
This is a session that you cannot afford to miss if you or anyone in your department is required to conduct business across agency domains or if you need to address specific Telework initiatives.

2. Adobe Acrobat Connect in the Department of Defense and Intelligence

Nowhere is the fast and accurate sharing of information more important than within the agencies that run defense and intelligence operations. From military strategic plans to training programs for deployed troops to top secret dossiers on potential threats, information is the cornerstone of citizen protection. With lives literally at stake, these agencies need to distribute information as soon as it's needed, while preventing it from falling into the wrong hands.

Learn why many of the front-line units deployed in the global war on terrorism are already using Adobe Acrobat Connect to prepare for and collaborate during ongoing operations. For further information, click here.

4. When a Memory Device Evolves.


The ROCSAFE PX Smartcard is not a typical memory device

Rocsecure, Rocsafe PX is a smartcard authenticated USB2.0 external storage enclosure that offers real-time full disk encryption capability. The Rocsafe PX is embedded with eNova X-Wall XO-192 TDES 192-bit real-time cryptographic engine that performs full disk encryption to the entire addressable sectors of the hard drive, including boot sector, FAT, and temporary files. There will be no clear text left unprotected. The Rocsafe PX is with standard 2.5" hard drives with an IDE (PATA) interface, and communicates with the host computer via standard USB 2.0 interface. The new version Rocsafe SX will be available late 2007 will be fitted with SATA hard drives. The Rocsafe PX is operating system independent and does not require any software drivers. Cryptographic processing occurs transparently without any loss in disk performance (in Real-Time.) Users simply use their computers as usual with the assurance and complete piece of mind that their data is fully protected in the unfortunate event that their hard drives are stolen or lost.
