WhatWorks in Intrusion Prevention Systems: "Defending Government
Security with Unisys"
Tuesday, January 17, 2006, at 1:00 PM EST (1800 UTC/GMT)
Featuring: Tristan Morel L'Horset

Information overload from thousands of IDSes, firewalls and antivirus
prompted Unisys to look for an IDS that would help it weed out
actionable information on threats from the millions of alerts it
receives. Key criteria included a low rate of false positives,
reporting capabilities and ease of use.

Tristan Morel L'Horset is the director of managed security services.
He primarily supports the Unisys federal security division, whose
clients include numerous federal agencies.

WhatWorks in Secure Email: "Anti-spam Makes for Home Sweet Home at The
Villages"
Thursday, January 19, 2006, at 1:00 PM EST (1800 UTC/GMT)
Featuring: Brian Marko

The Villages, a growing retirement community of over 35,000 homes,
needed an email security solution that could protect their network from
email threats. They needed a solution that would be flexible enough
to support the diversity of their network without interfering with
the effectiveness of their exchange server. Join us as Brian Marko
tells how they happily settled on one that "provides both inbound
and outbound filtering, is moderate in price, simple to deploy and
use and does good reporting with few false positives."

Brian Marko, Server Operations Engineer: With more than 16 years of IT
experience, Brian Marko has served as The Villages' Server Operations
Engineer for last four years. He keeps 40 servers up and running for
more than 1,300 users, and is also responsible for the organization's
disaster recovery planning. Brian also served with the U.S. Army's
first infantry division.

Highlighted Training Program of the Week:
SANS has finally found a good course on secure programming. Here's what
some early students said:
>> "This course covers all of the major vulnerabilities in a hands on
fashion -- it puts you in the hacker's swivel chair." Cheryl Marlin,
NOAA
>> "Great, if a bit scary. Good grounding in techniques used by hackers
and how to protect yourself against them." Ed Jamerzek, Software
Manager, DayJet

Course information: http://www.sans.org/sans2006/description.php?tid=347
Also Secure .NET programming: http://www.sans.org/sans2006/description.php?tid=250

These are two of 36 immersion training programs at SANS 2006 - the
largest and most effective security training conference and tools
exposition ever assembled.
