Dear Security Colleague,

I invite you to join Computer Security Institute (CSI), the original and leading educational membership organization for information security professionals. Our mission is simple: to provide you with the resources with which to succeed both in your job and in your career. At the forefront of security trends and research, CSI is uniquely qualified to provide the practical, yet often undiscovered, insight, strategies and trends that will protect your organization and move you ahead.

I look forward to welcoming you as a CSI Member.

CSI Members Receive Key Advantages That Help Define Careers

As a CSI Member, you'll receive exclusive access to:

• CSI Computer Crime and Security Survey - Comprehensive version. (Sold separately at $185.00): Only CSI Members receive this full, 40 page Edition, packed with much more information than the 16 page Executive Summary version. The Comprehensive Edition—available to CSI Members only—goes into fuller detail about respondents' security programs and attacks experienced, including policies implemented, tools used, degree of outsourcing, use of metrics and effects of compliance requirements, incident response to the attacks and how the CSI survey findings compare to the findings of similar studies.

• Ten in-depth ALERT security reports throughout the year (Value $25 per report): These comprehensive reports provide a deep dive on emerging security issues and solutions, going beyond the typical news stories. Designed to prepare you for challenges now and around the corner, you'll get the level of information that will actually make a difference in the way you practice and perceive security.
