               UNIX Security, Facts and Fallacies
                   Thursday, January 21, 1993
                     6:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.


This is an introduction to the facilities available within UNIX systems 
that can affect the security of applications.  It can serve as an 
introduction for staff that will soon (or are now) responsible for 
security in an environment that includes UNIX systems.

The topics covered include:

                        o The UNIX File System
                        o Command Shells
                        o Account Authorization
                        o Restricted Environments
                        o Systems Integrity
                        o Denial of Service
                        o Network Security
                        o Firewall Systems
