Department of Homeland Security - the federal department that administers all matters relating to homeland security Homeland Security executive department - a federal department in the executive branch of the government of the United States , automation and control professionals are changing the way they think about the security of the systems, the site, etc. Today, professionals must focus on securing industrial networks against cyber attacks, protecting systems from hackers, discerning differences between an industrial environment and an office system, securing protocols with open-source technologies, and protecting industrial networks with network segmentation. As a well-known authority on biometric technology, Jensen's presentation, "Biometric Technology: Prime Time!" will guide attendees through the biometric technology landscape with a provocative combination of technical facts, historical tales, live demonstrations, and entertaining anecdotes. Free to all ISA EXPO 2004 attendees, each will leave with a clear and comprehensive understanding of the history, practical modern reality, and future potential of this technology. "Biometric technologies such as fingerprint identification, facial recognition, speaker verification, iris scanning and hand geometry have long fascinated the imaginations of Hollywood but today they are sparking interest with more of the mainstream media," said Jensen. "I am thrilled to share first-hand this technology-in-action keynote address to outline a technology that is on the verge On the Verge (or The Geography of Yearning) is a play written by Eric Overmyer. It makes extensive use of esoteric language and pop culture references from the late nineteenth century to 1955. of changing the way automation and control professionals and practitioners do business."
