From SiliconAngel: There is another complimentary security summit provided by Microsoft coming in June. Yes complimentary means free. The last one they ran in March was EXTREMELY informative and useful, and I highly recommend it for anyone in a professional environment that deploys or maintains Microsoft environments, or even for those people who use it at home and would like to know a lot more about what they are using. Click here to go to the Microsoft Australia page detailing the event. There is link on that page to register.
