The Security Innovation Network (SINET) hosts the Fourth Annual IT Security Entrepreneurs' Forum (ITSEF): "Bridging the Gaps" in our Nation's Cyber Security: Connecting Leadership, Innovation, and Policy at Stanford University on March 16 - 17, 2010. SINET is pleased to announce that His Excellency Jaak Aaviksoo, the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Estonia will keynote this year's Forum.

ITSEF is the premier venue for start up and emerging solution providers. This event offers a unique environment to meet and collaborate with a select group of government, industry and venture capital leaders who will address market trends, needs, processes and opportunities on approaching and accessing these markets. It is the only forum of its kind designed to "bridge the gap" between the Federal Government, system integration, private industry, innovation, venture capital, academic and science communities.  At ITSEF, your participation equals a full day of discussion and networking with government and industry leaders from organizations such as DHS, DOE, General Dynamics, ManTech, Charles Schwab, DNI, NSA and many others.
