Federal Information Systems Security Educators’ Association Conference Slated

Scheduled for March 27-29, 2012, the National Institute of Standards and Technologies [NIST] has entitled the new FISSEA conference “A New Era in Cybersecurity Awareness, Training, and Education”. Venue is the NIST complex in Gaithersburg, Maryland. I highly recommend attending the conference (and membership in FISSEA, as well) for information systems security professionals working in the United States Federal Government environs, managers responsible for information systems security training programs within federal agencies, and faculty members of accredited educational institutions who are involved in information security training and education.

Grail

NASA’s Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory [GRAIL] project has produced the first video of it’s historic educational outreach mission. The video was captured on 2012/01/19 via the MoonKAM aboard the ‘Ebb’ spacecraft [one of the twin GRAIL spacecraft of the mission]. Robotic exploration of the far-side of the moon, absolutely superb.
