General Information ~ ASIS-HTCIA Conference

The High Technology Crime Investigation Association recognizes the need for a better system of networking private and public investigations against criminals, who continually threaten both private and government computer networks and/or steal millions of dollars in assets by the use of computers or other forms of high technology.

The American Society for Industrial Security is the largest worldwide organization of security professionals. ASIS International is dedicated to increasing the effectiveness and productivity of security professionals by developing educational programs and materials that address broad security interests, as well as specific security topics.

With the explosion in the use of computers and the Internet, there is an upswing in criminal activities that utilize these powerful tools. From computer viruses to fraud, these are just a few of the many growing threats that expose our society to a new kind of criminal activity in the 21st century. This conference addresses some of those issues.

ASIS membership requirements: Professional in an executive, managerial, supervisory, or Responsible Charge position who is primarily responsible for the security function of their organization. "Responsible Charge" means that charge exercised by an individual in a management position who makes decisions for the successful completion of objectives without reliance upon directions from a superior as to specific methods or techniques. However, an applicant need not have held a supervisory position, as long as the positions on which the application relies have specifically included responsibility for independent decisions or actions. If responsible charge is not based on supervisory responsibilities, then security program management responsibilities and duties must be clearly shown. Generally, this excludes such positions as patrol officer or equivalent.

HTCIA membership requirements: (a) Peace Officers, Investigators and Prosecuting Attorneys engaged in the investigation and/or prosecution of criminal activity associated with computers and/or advanced technologies.
