JAKARTA, - 20 March, 2005- The largest ethical hacking and information
security conference in Asia will take place in Jakarta, Indonesia at
the Hotel Borobudur from 23rd to 24th March 2005. The conference is
arranged by PT Bellua Asia Pacific and supported by PT Excelcomindo
Pratama (XL), one of Indonesia's largest GSM operators and
infrastructure providers. The main goal of the event is to increase
security awareness and information sharing both in the public as well
as the corporate and government sector to the many security relate
issues that could potentially affect their business.

"XL, the Official Major Sponsor of Bellua Cyber Security Asia 2005, is
proud to be able to deliver this very unique event. We hope it will
increase the awareness and understanding of critical information
infrastructure security and encourage active engagement and interest"  
said Rudiantara, XL Director of Corporate Affairs.

"The increasing complexity of telecommunication infrastructure with
the advent of Internet, GPRS, 3G, VoIP and VAS applications leads to
many further opportunities for attackers. The Banks and Telcos used to
be "closed environments", it isn't really the case anymore.", says one
of the speakers, Emmanuel Gadaix, founder and leader of the Telecom
Security Task Force.

For the first time in Indonesia, the conference will put together
various number of internationally recognized experts in the security
community as well as leading members of the Indonesian technology and
security industry.

The conference is also expected to add depth and understanding of
security issues in the public sector: technical challenges facing the
public authorities as well as providing a secure public
infrastructure.

The event will open with the Attorney General of Indonesia, Bpk. Abdul
Rahman Saleh as well as the Minister of Communications and
Information, Bpk. DR. Sofyan Djalil, delivering their keynote speech.

Between 400 to 600 delegates and visitors are expected to attend the
conference, with coverage from a large number of media outlets from
the region.

Over 40 speakers from numerous disciplines will join Bellua Cyber
Security Asia 2005 to discuss present and future information security
issues through an intensive series of workshops, presentations,
technical sessions and demonstrations. "BCS is all about knowledge
transfer and information sharing, our speakers aren't coming to
Jakarta to sell products!"

The conference will be spread across 2 concurrent tracks focusing on
the business and technical aspects of information security. The
business tracks will be the meeting of minds to discuss the challenges
of securing an organization from a process approach. 

The technical track in the conference will present current
technologies, bleeding-edge techniques as well as experience sharing
among the international speakers. In addition, the conference will
also unveil in Jakarta some new attacks and vulnerabilities (and how
to defend from them).

Among the speakers, Fabrice Marie, a senior security consultant
working for one of the "Big 4" will showcase well known internet
banking attacks and provide guidelines on how to prevent them. Fetri
Miftach will explain how to build security from planning to action
using British Standard 7799. Dave McKay (ex-Google, ex-US DoD &
ex-Microsoft)  will deliver a speech on one of the most human aspect
of information security, "Social Engineering". Dave explains: "In
today's world, confidence scams present quite possibly one of the
highest threats to security within the business world. Control of
information, withholding and leaking, can lead to massive failures and
losses depending on how skilled the attacker may be. In combination
with disinformation and propaganda, social engineering can as fatal as
or even lead to loss of customer and shareholder confidence."  

Microsoft Security Business Services is flying in from Redmond, WA,
several of its security experts to Jakarta including David Steeve and
John Howie  who will talk about securing online transactions and
compliance management.

Ethical hacking & security contests will let novices develop
their skills and challenge experts in their favorite arenas, allowing
all a chance to win prizes.
