Federal IT managers can learn what questions they should ask vendors of DNSSEC hardware and software solutions, at a special workshop at the FOSE conference and expo on July 20.

National Institute of Standards and Technology computer scientist Scott Rose will share a list of questions just prior to the lunch break during workshop, after which participants are encouraged to visit the DNSSEC pavilion on the Expo floor to see demonstrations and learn more about available solutions.

Executives from Secure64, Microsoft, Afilias, Infoblox, F5 Network, Nominum and Internet Systems Corporation will take part in the final panel of the workshop, allowing IT managers to hear from and question them about DNSSEC deployment solutions that they offer.

The workshop requires an additional $35 registration fee in addition to regular FOSE registration. It takes place from 10 AM to 4 PM on Wednesday, July 20. Attendees also will be able to hear from senior White House and federal agency officials, as well as executives from agencies, registrars and companies implementing DNSSEC.
