    Abstract:
    Hackers continue to devise clever techniques to get in and stay in computer networks, while defenders seek to find intruders and keep them out. Some of the hacker tricks we'll survey are steganography, polymorphic code, and covert communications via social networking sites. They are so sneaky undefined is there hope? The hope lies with the creative methods that defenders are using to counteract these hacking techniques.

    Monday, May 14, 2012

    Speaker: Angela McAlpin, PE

    Topic: It Takes a Village: Innovation as a Community Experience. Put the Hype back in Innovation Sharing and Management

     

    You've got an innovation so exciting you want to shout it from your office rooftops. One problem: You have an audience of 52,700 who are geographically dispersed with diverse educational, cultural and professional backgrounds. Now what? This is a challenge Bechtel--a global engineering, procurement, construction, and project management company--faces every day. In 2011, Bechtel's US government services company adapted an innovation management platform to make sharing and collaboration of emerging technologies in an engineering-procurement-construction environment a community experience. Learn about how this open process of discovering, learning, and applying technologies has increased productivity, improved quality, and reinforced safety.

     

    Location:

    Bechtel Offices

    5275 Westview Drive
