Intridea, Inc. is pleased to announce the Computer Security Institute (CSI), a prestigious community of world-renowned security experts and professionals, has chosen Present.ly to be their official Micro-blogging technology provider for all their web and mobile-based collaboration and communication needs.

At the forefront of security trends and research, CSI provides a forum for security professionals to learn, share and debate the latest thinking on security strategies and technologies.

In September, at the O'Reilly/TechWeb Web 2.0 Expo, Robert Richardson, the Director of the Computer Security Institute, handpicked and dubbed Present.ly the "safe and secure business alternative to mainstream social media tools Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter." Robert, who had evaluated a number of different social media vendors, and is extremely familiar with the space, immediately recognized the positive and distinguishing characteristics of the Present.ly design, including: advance security & permission controls, group functionality, Twitter interoperability, file sharing, an open API, scalability, and an appealing interface --- all of which are of great value to his audience.

Starting on Saturday, November 15th, members of the CSI organization will gather for their Annual Event, where registered attendees, corporate guests and other interested parties, will have a full-access-pass to their very own customized instance of Present.ly. The week-long event, which will be held at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center (just outside of Washington, DC), is expected to draw 3,000 people, from over 40 countries, and will offer an opportunity for CSOs, CTOs, CIOs and alike to gain an understanding of both the technical aspects of security, and how security fits into their overall business and strategic plans.

The CSI Present.ly community will be used to assist individuals with finding like-minded people, relevant information and materials; tracking topic sessions, speakers, and exhibitors; as well as fostering continued conversations after the event is over.

Team Intridea is very excited about this project and looks forward to our continued relationship with CSI.

Please contact csi@intridea.com if you have any questions or feedback.

More details to come in the days ahead.
