Mr. Robert J. Du Charme, Security Training Manager, Critical
Infrastructure Assurance Group, Cisco Systems, Inc. 

"Creating and Operating a Transparently Secure Network"

synonymous. This talk will uncover the necessary features of a
transparently secure network and show how to create the synergy of both
network and security. 

Robert J. Du Charme is a security training manager in the Critical
Infrastructure Assurance Group at Cisco Systems. In this position his
responsibilities include creating and delivering relevant, current, and
high-quality security education and training for higher education and
critical infrastructure program sector audiences using available or new

course development support as required. Prior to Cisco he served in a
variety of network and help desk positions for the Administrative Office
of the U.S. Federal Courts. He also held many network and system
