InformationSecurityAsia2007 was good, but could have been better.** Most of the participants enjoyed the sessions on extrusion detection, indepth root kit analysis, and wireless hacking.*** There were also excellent presentations on the new Thai cyber-crime law which goes into effect next week, as well a very good reports on cybercrime from Thai cybercrime fighting authorities.***
For me,the conferencewas personally very rewarding, because I could read many of the power point presentations in Thai, as well as listen to the Thai speakers without the aid of the translation headphones.*** In fact, I found that I absorbed much more information listening to the Thai speakers without the simultaneous English translation.** You can imagine how rewarding this might have been.
In my opinion, future conferences would be much improved ifthe organizersreduce or eliminate thetalks from (ISC)2 board membersand include more state-of-the-art talks on event processing and related security topics, such a fraud detection, market surveillance, anti-moneylaundering, and complex event processing.** Also, the sponsored talks (from �gold sponsor� companies) were disappointing, they should have been guided to speak on topics in context to current events in Thailand, such as the new cyber-crime law that goes into effect in the Kingdom next week.
In closing, I was very impressed with the entire team from ACIS in Thailand, lead by a very talentedDr. Prinya Hom-Anek.** I really enjoyed each of his presentations, as well asall thetechnical presentation by the ACIS staff members.*In addition, the entire team at ACIS was very warm and generous with their time during the conference. I want to personally thank ACIS for their kindness,warm smiles, andall our discussions during the event.
