VPN deployment in the enterprise and industries will be highlighted at The Conference (TISC) (http://tisc.corecom.com), the technical event addressing the issues of safeguarding enterprise Internet connections, to be held in California from 24 to 28 April.

"Virtual private networks as they are deployed in healthcare and enterprise-wide environments will be a major focus for TISC,`` notes Dave Piscitello, president of Core Competence and TISC founder.

"Everyone expects VPNs to be the glorious ultimate security solution, but building VPNs has been challenging, and remains so. TISC will examine VPN case studies from people who have designed and built some of the largest VPN-based networks to date. We`ll examine PKI-enabled VPNs and we`ll also explain why VPNs are not always spelled I-P-S-E-C!``

Additional TISC topics include e-business security, intrusion detection and network forensics, nt2000 security, biometrics, desktop and consumer security, secure network services, risk assessment, content filtering and more.

Special features to date include the 3rd Annual Security Products Showcase. A significant addition to this year`s programme is an Invited Papers Track. "TISC has and will always remain about education,`` Piscitello notes. "Invited papers, subjected to peer review, underscore this.``

Online registration is now open at http://secure.mactivity.com/tisc/registration.html.
