Espionage, terrorism, cyber security, insider threats … the list of security-related worries preoccupying today’s security manager seems to grow each year.

The Intelligence Reform Act, the implementation of JPAS and security clearance reform are bringing about sweeping long-term changes to the security management landscape.

The world has changed. Complacency has never been wise but at this time of increasing uncertainty, it has become outright dangerous and irresponsible.

To address these increased concerns, you need to develop or revise your security program to include more comprehensive policies, procedures, and strategies.

So, how can you prepare to thrive in the face of change and get answers to the critical, complex issues you face today? The answer is to attend IMPACT 2007. You’ll receive invaluable training from the nation’s top security experts and trade ideas and compare notes with colleagues who are confronting the same issues, worrying the same worries and wrestling with the same problems.

In short, you will come away a more effective professional — prepared and energized for the challenges this year will bring.

As today's threat-intensive environment becomes more hostile with each passing day, it is vital for you to be equipped with the tools, techniques and knowledge needed to safeguard classified and proprietary information from damaging security breaches.

Why You Should Attend IMPACT 2007
In a world of uncertainty, one thing is clear: security is more critical and complex than ever. And that means your job is more important and challenging than ever.

You stand at the intersection of two unstoppable trends: the growth in espionage, cybercrime and terrorist activity on one side and the development of complex new systems and requirements to deal with them on the other.

While you can never lose sight of the new and mushrooming threats, you are simultaneously required to adapt existing practices and procedures to new security realities: e-Clearance, JPAS, AIS security, and NISP changes. And it goes without saying that changes in technology invariably mean changes in the rules for protecting classified information.

So, how can you prepare to thrive in the face of change and get answers to the critical, complex issues you face today?

The answer is to attend IMPACT 2007. Senior officials will brief you on the new threats and the new vulnerabilities. You’ll attend informative workshops on managing day-to-day security tasks in a modern, uncertain world. You’ll learn new strategies and programs for neutralizing threats before they affect your organization. You’ll trade ideas and compare notes with colleagues who are confronting the same issues, worrying the same worries and wrestling with the same problems.

In short, you will come away a more effective security professional — prepared and energized for the challenges this year will bring.

The Event of the Year for Security Professionals
Why does the national security community look forward to NSI's IMPACT Forum so eagerly every year?

Agenda. The agenda is targeted to your needs. IMPACT 2007 is programmed by security professionals who know the responsibilities of your job and the kind of pressures you face. They organize the schedule to make effective use of your valuable — and limited — time by focusing on the issues you face both day-to-day and long-term.

Focus. The participants are your peers. IMPACT 2007 draws its audience exclusively from national security managers and professionals — the people who are doing the same job you’re doing… the people you want to meet and share with.

Environment. Why get lost in a giant convention center or wait in long lines after a session to meet the speaker? IMPACT 2007 offers small, more intimate sessions that bring your closer to the experts and the speakers as well as your peers.

Collegiality. IMPACT 2007’s manageable scale means participants are more open and friendly with each other. Ask registrants of previous NSI IMPACT forums, and they will tell you about the lasting and productive professional relationships they have found there. When the next crisis lands on your desk, chances are you’ll have someone to call to get ideas, resources, and advice — someone you met at IMPACT 2007.
