  National Security Experts Jamie Gorelick and Richard Clarke Join CSIA in a

    SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- The following is being issued by
the Cyber Security Industry Alliance:

    WHAT:       The tragic events of 9/11 brought to light the many
                insecurities of this nation.  While plenty of improvements
                have been made regarding physical security, cyber threats
                continue to increase, threatening the Internet and our
                critical information infrastructure.

                Cyber Security Industry Alliance (CSIA) will host a Town Hall
                Meeting at RSA 2005 to discuss homeland security, critical
                infrastructure protection, and cyber security in the post-9/11
                era.  Paul Kurtz, executive director of CSIA, will join Jamie
                Gorelick and Richard Clarke in a dialogue that will reveal
                what steps are being taken to enhance security measures.

                exclusively focused on cyber security policy, has gathered
