The next meeting of Colorado Women In Technology will be Jan 24 at Dolan's 
in Boulder.

We are pleased to be kicking off the new year with Paula Sharick, long-time 
CWIT member and regular contributor to Windows IT Pro magazine (formerly 
known as Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows .NET).

Understanding Cyber Threats and Deterrents

Malicious code is running rampant in our cyber universe. Gone are the days 
when we only had to worry about memory-based or boot sector viruses. Given 
that the variants of malware today are several orders of magnitude larger, 
and much more widely dispersed, each and every technology user must be 
informed about the damaging nature of nasty code. After reviewing the 
definitions and sources of the more recent entries on the cyber-threat 
list, including spyware and phishing, we'll discuss potential sources of 
these infections and techniques you can use on Windows-based systems to 
diagnose whether or not a system has become infected. We'll finish up by 
discussing the most effective deterrents you can implement to ensure your 
systems remain as healthy as possible.

The meeting will start at 6:30PM with networking, hors d'oeuvres, and 
drinks.  The presentation will start at 7:30.  Please note we need to 
receive registration and payment by mail by Jan 17.
