strategies and mechanisms used to protect information systems.

Computer Security 2001  will be an event for all the people who are involved
in the  use, design and administration of computer systems.  DISC 2001 is an
annual  world-wide  celebration  led  by   ACM  (Association  for  Computing
Machinery).

Since 1994, Mexico has participated of this celebration through the Computer
Security Department (DSC-UNAM, www.seguridad.unam.mx) and UNAM-CERT
