Security Expert Dan Verton to Hold Book Signing for The Insider: A True Story at Reconnex's Booth During RSA Conference 2006

    MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 14 /PRNewswire/ --

    WHO:    Dan Verton, an award-winning journalist and security expert, is
            author of The Insider: A True Story, the groundbreaking book that
            reveals the true extent of the insider threat to proprietary data
            and personal privacy.  He is also author of Black Ice: The
            Invisible Threat of Cyber-Terrorism and The Hacker Diaries:
            Confessions of Teenage Hackers.  Verton has presented his research
            into the high-tech future of terrorism to the Department of
            Homeland Security, the Air Force War College, the U.S. Secret
            Service, the Library of Congress, NASA's Counterintelligence
            Division, and colleges and universities around the country.

    WHAT:   Verton will be giving a presentation entitled,  "2006:  Year of
            the Insider Threat" and sign copies of his book The Insider: A
            True Story at the Reconnex booth, #243, at RSA Conference 2006 on
            Tuesday, February 14 (11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.).  The book,
            published by Llumina Press, is a study of the threat that security
            breaches by insiders pose not only to personal, corporate, and
            governmental data but also to America's economic competitiveness.
            Verton reveals the true extent of the insider threat to
            proprietary data and personal privacy, and contends that security
            policies and procedures are meaningless without a technology that
            can enforce them.  He backs his claims with statistical trends and
            blind data samples amassed and revealed by Reconnex Corporation.
