Mr. Miles Romello, Wachovia NB will be our speaker and will be presenting the topic:

"Microsoft Vista® - 1 Year Later...Ready for Primetime Corporate Implementation?"

Mr. Romello will provide a synopsis of how Microsoft Vista® looks from the corporate perspective 1 year after his initial presentation on its security. After its introduction in 2007, how has Microsoft Vista® fared? Does it enhance network security? Does it integrate more seamlessly into corporate networks? Does it improve access controls? Does it prevent common malware attacks? Does it improve intrusion detection?
