Deploying DNSSEC: A hands-on workshop	Sponsors:
Since December 2007, FISMA policies and NIST technical guidelines have recommended deployment of DNSSEC as part of a secure DNS infrastructure. In August 2008, the Office of Management and Budget updated its policy, requiring all agencies to deploy DNSSEC by December 2009. NIST and Secure64 Software Corporation are hosting two hands-on, DNS security workshops for US Government DNS operators. The workshops are aimed to help US Government network operators understand, pilot and deploy DNSSEC technologies in accordance with these policies and guidelines. Workshop attendees will learn: What DNSSEC does and how it works How FISMA controls relate to DNSSEC How to develop essential DNSSEC deployment policies and practices How to use open source technologies and tools to deploy DNSSEC What NIST has learned from their own deployment experience How automated signing products can greatly accelerate and simplify deployment
Workshop Locations and Dates: GOLDEN, CO: 8:00am - 5:00pm Wednesday, October 29th GAITHERSBURG, MD: 8:00am - 5:00pm Wednesday, November 5th	Register to attend - seating is limited!
