Be afraid of your mouse

S5-logo.jpgDoc Searls calls this site a real-world Jerry Bruckheimer movie. They are running seminars to prevent a digital Pearl Harbor. I was struck by their logo - a cobra with a computer mouse on its hood. And their grasp of scary, impenetrable jargon:

SECTOR 5 has dedicated itself to creating an event and summit that holds the same mission and goals as numerous agencies, organizations and companies (existing or newly created) that are currently trying to wrap their arms around the matters of cyber terrorism and the protection of national interests and critical infrastructures. The mission: "identify the critical systems, identify the vulnerabilities to those systems and establish plans to protect them". The SECTOR 5 event has been created for, and is solely dedicated for the previously stated objectives.

SECTOR 5 is an executive level event, meaning that ALL facets of the program are geared toward C level security and management attendees (CEO, CIO, CTO, CFO, CISO, CSO, etc.). The program will offer an atmosphere and format focused primarily on delivery of strategic content and the ability to network with peers from the various critical infrastructures.

...but not the ability to write clearly in English, I guess. Hey, for $995 a day you're expecting poetry? There's a war going on!
