The Linley Group Seminar Focuses on Embedded Network Security Design

Program Features Freescale, AMCC, SafeNet, Cavium, Hifn, Sensory, Tarari, and Intoto

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA—September 12, 2006—On September 21, The Linley Group continues its Linley Tech seminar series with a one-day event on Embedded Network Security Design. The seminar brings together industry experts, CTOs, and technologists from leading vendors to deliver in-depth technical presentations addressing the specialized needs of this market. The seminar is intended to provide up-to-the minute information on the latest products to system designers who are designing network-security equipment or designing security into routers or other network equipment. The seminar delivers new product announcements such as Cavium's architectural disclosure of its new NITROX PX security processor family.

Bob Wheeler, senior analyst and author of the report, A Guide to Security and Content Processors, will kick off the program with an overview of security technologies and where they are being deployed in the network. The morning session will feature talks focused on embedding security in next-gen networking equipment, while the afternoon session will concentrate on addressing content-security performance. The seminar wraps up with a closing panel on the future directions of network-security processing. Following the seminar will be a networking reception providing opportunities for you to network with these industry leaders, analysts, and your colleagues.
