Sometime in early May of 2001, TruSecure began a very active campaign of spamming out their newsletters and PR material. I began receiving their mail several times a week in May. As recent as Auguest of 2001, others began receiving the same type mail. I sent two mails requesting to be unsubscribed from their spam list, both of which were ignored. I included three out of the dozens I have since received, as well as one from Mcintyre.

But while risk cannot be completely eliminated, it can be mitigated. This online seminar is your chance to learn about how best to balance your company's bottom-line business goals with the security needs of the enterprise - and simplify the way you protect your most critical assets. Dr. Tippett will deliver new insight on what REALLY constitutes an effective enterprise information security program, including an updated look at a few long-held security myths. Join us - online, from the convenience of your office - for this FREE, 60-minute Webinar that puts you in contact with security expert Peter Tippett, M.D., Ph D., and gives you the opportunity to learn: * Some of the classic failures companies experience when attempting to implement a solid corporate security program, including insight about encryption-related mistakes and some easy ways to address the real risks to your information. * The effectiveness/ineffectiveness of anti-virus products in improving a company's overall security. * The fallacy of so-called "strong" passwords.
