Huntsville, AL (PRWEB) August 05, 2014
University of Alabama Huntsville (UAH) Vice President for Research Dr. Ray Vaughn, also a distinguished professor of computer science, will be the keynote speaker for the first day of this summer’s Rocket City TakeDownCon. Vaughn will address the topic of critical infrastructure security with his presentation, “Industrial Control Systems Insecurity,” at the premiere [cybersecurity event scheduled for Aug. 18-19 at the Dynetics Solutions Complex, 1004 Explorer Blvd. in Huntsville’s Cummings Research Park. The conference will be preceded by four days of training opportunities.
Vaughn joined UAH, a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education, in May 2013 after serving as associate vice president for research and the department head for Computer Science and Engineering at Mississippi State University. He was also named an eminent scholar and most outstanding faculty member in 2008. Prior to entering academia, he completed a career in the U.S. Army, where he retired as a colonel followed by three years as vice president of DISA Integrated Services at EDS Government Systems.
Vaughn’s research interests are cybersecurity and software engineering with a special focus on industrial control systems security. His past experience includes an assignment at the National Computer Security Center (NSA), where he conducted classified research and participated in the development of national computer security guidance. He has more than 100 publications to his credit and has obtained more than $ 40 million in funded research projects. He received his doctorate in computer science from Kansas State University.
Rocket City TakeDownCon will feature two dynamic tracks during two days, with Monday focused on the “Attack,” teaching participants how even the most protected systems can be breached. The theme for Tuesday will be “Defense,” featuring topics that will challenge attendees to determine if their defense mechanisms are prepared to thwart nefarious and persistent attacks.
Eric Lopez, EC-Council’s director of conferences and events, said, “Dr. Vaughn is an example of the diversity of speakers we have lined up for this year’s event. We are excited to bring a wide range of topics by speakers with various backgrounds and experience to Rocket City TakeDownCon.”
Dynetics Vice President Jonathan Whitcomb said, “Huntsville has many cybersecurity experts, and Dr. Vaughn is nationally recognized. Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle has a cyber initiative with a goal to be ‘a community that is recognized nationally and internationally as a leader in cyber research and development, modeling and simulation, engineering and experimentation, and test and evaluation.’ We are proud to host speakers from our own area, as well as others from all over the United States.”
The TakeDownCon Training Academy, which will take place Aug. 14-17, will offer four days of intense training just prior to the conference. EC-Council’s Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), CHFI (Certified Hacking Forensic Investigator), Certified Security Analyst (ECSA), Mobile Hacking and Forensics, Securing Windows Infrastructure, Advanced Network Defense and Hacking Secure Encryption are some of the classes on the agenda.

Chatwing Releases Social Network Log-in Method for Upcoming Users
Chatwing Releases Social Network Log-in Method for Upcoming Users
Cambridge, MA (PRWEB) March 15, 2012
Every aspect can now be found in social networking sites. They are the extensions of society, and every personal profile has certain individualities. The Chatwing chat widget operates under this premise. Developers of Chatwing believe in the potential of social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. That is why they integrated a social network log-in method in all Chatwing widgets.
Chatwing may be similar to other free chat widgets, but it has a unique punch that outwits any other else. One of the strong features of Chatwing is its obvious simplicity. According to a collective study, installation of the widget took only few minutes, depending on the computer’s internet connection. The usage of complicated commands was eliminated. It has been proven that complicated installation methods made users irate, leading to ‘rank death’ of several widgets globally.
To install Chatwing, the user must register his blog’s domain name and set up an official account. Following that, customization takes place. The user can customize the size, color, and name of the widget. Embedding is the last step and once that is accomplished, the widget will go live in few seconds. Rank improvement of the website is usually visible after one or two days, depending on the content.
Whenever users log in with their Facebook or Twitter accounts, they get to exchange information with other people. This is useful especially if a user wants to promote his Facebook page in many ways possible. Twitter users, on the other hand, can find more active followers through Chatwing.
The Chatwing study also indicates that online entrepreneurs benefited a lot from the exchange of information. They generated enough prospects, which in turn, lead to more sales and timely feedbacks. Many people also relied in website chat to expand their knowledge. Chatwing offers two-pronged benefits: entertainment and information delivery through websites.
People also loved Chatwing’s avatar displays and emoticons. According to them, the emoticons spiced up every conversation they had. Some people even commented that Chatwing brought a new free chat experience to the Internet crowd.
