The Computer Security Institute (CSI) is a professional membership organization serving practitioners of information, network, and computer-enabled physical security, from the level of system administrator to the chief information security officer. It was founded in 1974.[1]

CSI conducts two conferences per year — the Annual Computer Security Conference and Exhibition and CSI NetSec. Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia founder[2][3] and founder of the Wikimedia Foundation, was a keynote speaker at CSI’s 33rd Annual Conference, held November 6-8, 2006, in Orlando, Florida.[4]

CSI is perhaps best known for the annual CSI/FBI Computer Crime and Security Survey, conducted by CSI with the collaboration of the San Francisco Federal Bureau of Investigations Computer Intrusion Squad and researchers from the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland.[5] [6] [7] The 11th annual survey was released in August 2006, and is freely available to the general public at GoCSI.com. CSI staff have also testified as expert witnesses before United States Senate committee hearings.[8]

CSI members receive two publications: the Computer Security Alert, a monthly newsletter that reports and analyzes security-related news with a focus on its impact on security professionals, and the Computer Security Journal, a quarterly publication that presents more detailed descriptions of security practices, tools and research.[9]
