Securing the Enterprise Web:
Groupware for the Web, Web Mail and DCE Web Security
presented by
OSF Research Institute
February 15-16, 1995
Dear DCE & Web Professional:
Concerned about taking the plunge into DCE and the
Web? Overwhelmed by the security issues involved in
safeguarding your information as you plan for selling
and supporting your products via the Web?
You're probably hearing a lot of talk about efforts to bring
the power of the World Wide Web (WWW), the Internet, and
Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) enterprise
client/server computing to the workgroup. You've heard how
these changes will increase your company's productivity and
reduce its costs by revolutionizing the way your users and
teams access, distribute, and share information and
eventually conduct commerce over the Web.
You've also probably asked yourself these questions about the
complex problem of information security in a world of cross-
platform, open systems, distributed networks, and the WWW.
* "How secure is the Web? What's the best way to safeguard
our information the Web?"
* "What security is provided by DCE? How does DCE secure the
Web?"
* "What happens when you add proxies and firewall servers?"
* "What's all this talk about public key encryption for
electronic commerce?"
* "How do I make it all fit with my existing environment?"
If you're concerned about improving enterprise network
efficiency while safeguarding your information, you'll want to
attend this new, one and a half-day, OSF members-only workshop,
Securing the Enterprise Web, now offered by the OSF Research
Institute, February 15-16 at OSF corporate headquarters in
Cambridge, MA.
What will you learn?
The workshop is a combination of research result prototypes
ready for government, industry and other research groups to
build upon and research results that will become available in
1995. Taught by OSF RI architects and senior engineers, you'll
learn:
* What's good about the Web, Web security, and where it
falls short
* Who's using Web security and what are they using it for
* Today's Web security solutions and the problems they solve
* Web security risks and proposed solutions
* Encryption and protocols built on encryption
* DCE Web security tools supporting secure transactions
* Applying DCE security and access control features to the
Web
* Managing Web pages using DCE fine grained access control
* A vehicle for distributing application software that is
customized to the hardware/software environment of the
Web user
* Demonstrations of DCE Web security tools, groupware-
focused Web features such as Web Mail, and other Web-
related OSF RI research programs
* Unfolding the future - Emerging OSF RI innovations
What else do you get?
To encourage the transfer of RI technology to OSF members,
you will receive a discount on OSF research snapshots of Web-
related prototypes if purchased at or within 30 days of the
workshop. You'll receive prototype snapshots worth $3,000
for only $995! The package includes:
* DCE Web snapshot program
* Web Mail snapshot program
* Web groupware server snapshot program
Who should attend?
* Strategic enterprise network designers, network managers,
DCE developers, and Web server administrators
* Enterprise groups exploring the Web and DCE cells as a
way to communicate between departments, customers,
members and / or suppliers
