"WhatWorks in Intrusion Prevention and Detection: Real-time Network
   Awareness Creates a Greater State of Confidence"

Featuring: Alan Paller and Ann Johnson

Sponsored by Sourcefire

The state agency was established to integrate direct services
provided by multiple departments, such as public assistance and
vocational skills, in such a way as to reduce duplication of
administrative efforts, services, and expenditures. It promotes
the safety, well-being, and self-sufficiency of children, adults,
and families. The agency has 15,000 employees and contractors. Its
IT staff manages a mainframe that supports the major applications,
400 servers and thousands of desktop computers.

Alan Paller: Alan is the Director of Research for the SANS Institute,
responsible for overseeing all research projects ranging from the SANS
Step-by-Step guides to the SANS digests to the Top Twenty Internet
Security Threats. He is the founder of the CIO Institute, and earned
his degrees in Computer Science and Engineering from Cornell and
MIT. Alan is the author of the EIS Book: Information Systems for Top
Managers and How to Give the Best Presentation of Your Life.

Ann Johnson: The user interviewed for this case study has requested
anonymity for herself and her employer. The name being used in
this program has been changed to honor her request and also to
protect the agency in which she is employed. Ann Johnson is the
Chief Information Security Officer responsible both for her agency's
security policy and for security awareness. In addition, as the need
for additional security monitoring tools became evident, her team took
on the responsibility to acquire, implement, and manage those tools.

better... Classes stay current and evolve with the industry needs."
