Dear Security Express,

SANS 2008 is coming up soon on April 18-25, and the deadline to receive
a $250 tuition fee discount is Wednesday, March 5. To get the best
savings, make your training and travel plans now. This is a popular time
to travel to Orlando, so don't procrastinate or you might get stuck in
a middle seat. (http://www.sans.org/info/21116)

Our newest feature in this packed event is Malware Night, 'A 2008
Perspective on the State of Malicious Software'. In this presentation,
Lenny Zeltser surveys the characteristics of today's malware,
exemplified by recently-seen bots, downloaders, keyloggers, and
malicious scripts. This session will expand your perspective of the
modern malware landscape, empowering you to adjust your defenses and
risk mitigation strategies. Register on-site to secure your spot! (Seats
are limited) (http://www.sans.org/info/24233)
