CISM® and CISA® certified professionals can earn up to 32 CPE credits, and CISSP® certified professionals can earn up to 26 CPE credits.

Vanguard Security 2010 is a must-attend event for anyone who directly manages mainframe security using RACF, or who has responsibility for enterprise-wide security or compliance in a large company or government agency. Current tracks include basic to advanced RACF administration; governance, risk and compliance; crypto on System z; and dedicated Vanguard product training. Due to growing demand, new classes are also being added to provide a deeper understanding of cyber-security and assurance on the mainframe, along with the tools, resources, and techniques organizations can employ to better meet these requirements.

The Expo portion of the event provides a forum for information security professionals to meet and interact with industry leaders and software developers, and to explore the latest products and services available for enterprise security. It is also an opportunity for RACF security professionals to network with peers and interact with the IBM® developers who design and code RACF.
