This event provided attendees with an opportunity to hear firsthand about the work of TRUST faculty and students-specifically activities that:

1. Advance a leading-edge research agenda to improve the state-of-the art in cyber security and critical infrastructure protection;
2. Develop a robust education plan to teach the next generation of computer scientists, engineers, and social scientists; and
3. Pursue knowledge transfer opportunities to transition TRUST results to end users within industry and the government.

The conference was held at the Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt University November 11 from 8:00 AM to 5:45 PM and November 12 from 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM. It consisted of technical talks given by TRUST faculty and students, a poster session of TRUST student research, and social/networking events.

We were pleased to have as the conference Keynote Speaker Mr. Scott E. Augenbaum from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Supervisory Special Agent Scott E. Augenbaum is the supervisor of the FBI's Memphis Division Cyber Squad, based in Nashville, TN. SSA Augenbaum manages the Memphis Crimes Against Children Task Force made up of two FBI Special Agents, an Investigator from the Memphis Police Department and Shelby County Sheriff's Office, and a Special Agent from the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE). As Supervisory Special Agent, Augenbaum formed a Joint Cyber Crime Task Force with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and Franklin, TN Police Department to investigate Computer Intrusion, Online Child Exploitation, Intellectual Property Rights and Internet Fraud.

Augenbaum started his career in the FBI's New York Office in 1988, spending six years as an Operations Assistant and Accounting Technician for the Foreign Counter Intelligence Branch. Augenbaum worked on his first Cyber investigation in the fall of 1995 as part of the Innocent Images Online Child Exploitation initiative. For nine years, Augenbaum was the Case Agent on numerous Internet Fraud, Computer Intrusion, and Innocent Images investigations. In this role, he established and maintained liaison with industry, academia, and law enforcement and formed a working group with over 150 individuals/agencies committed to protecting the critical Infrastructure in upstate New York from Cyber attack. After the September 11th attacks, Augenbaum created an ad-hoc task force of Federal, State and local law enforcement agencies which lead to the formation of the Joint Terrorism Task Force in Syracuse, New York.

In December 2003, Augenbaum was promoted to a Supervisory Special Agent at FBIHQ, Cyber Division. He was the Program Manager of the FBI's Cyber Task Force Program—an initiative that enabled the FBI to partner with Federal, State and local law enforcement to combat the emerging threat of Computer Intrusion/Cyber Crime—and was responsible for the program within the FBI's 56 Field Offices. Augenbaum also had Program Management responsibilities for the FBI's Intellectual Property Rights Program and maintained liaison with the industry partners on IPR issues.

Augenbaum graduated from the City College of New York in 1992 and worked on his Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Information Technology and Finance at Fordham University's Lincoln Center Campus, New York, NY. Conference Venue
