Sponsored by Arcsight
Companies all have charted a steep rise in targeted attacks over the
past year as hackers move away from headline-grabbing, far-reaching
attacks to more profit-motivated ones targeted at a narrower range
of victims. This is nothing less than highly targeted corporate
espionage. Take a virtual peek behind the curtain into the life of a
cyber criminal. Through real-life customer scenarios, see the tools
and techniques of attackers and how leading companies are addressing
this escalating security threat. Don't miss this unique chance to
shoulder surf a hacker and a security analyst in tandem.

Brian Contos, Chief Security Officer: Brian has over a decade of
global, real-world security engineering and management expertise. With
a B.S.B.A degree in Management Information Systems from the University
of Arizona, Brian holds many certifications including CISSP, E-Forensic
Computer Crime Expert, CCNA, CCDA and CCSE.

Colby DeRodeff, GCIA, GCNA, Senior Security Engineer: Colby has been
an integral part of ArcSight's engineering team for over five years.
He is currently a member of ArcSight's Strategic Application Solutions
team developing content for customers to more easily solve real-world
issues such as perimeter threat, regulatory compliance and insider
threat.

"VoIP Security"
This webcast will provide a general introduction to VoIP networks,
detail various vulnerabilities in the current Voice-over-IP
implementations and recommend protection strategies. In addition to
traditional network security and availability concerns, new VoIP
technologies and protocols are still undergoing detailed security
analysis.

"Securing Multimedia Communications"
Innovative multimedia and IP Telephony applications have ushered in
a new era of communications, complete with greater efficiencies and
lower operations costs. With these benefits have also come increased
security threats. A Layered Defense approach to securing these new
applications can mitigate these threats by providing multiple layers
of security within the network. By adding security capabilities at
the end points, in the network core, at the perimeter - and beyond,
enterprises can confidently begin deploy these next generation
multimedia services to truly help transform their organizations.
Nortel provides a complete and extensive array of security technologies
to secure multimedia and other business-critical applications.

Rohit Dhamankar is the Lead Security Architect at TippingPoint, a
division of 3Com. In addition, he authors the weekly SANS Institute's
RISK newsletter, which ranks the severity level of new vulnerabilities
and is sent to over 200,000 subscribers. He is the Director for the
SANS Top20 2005 and the Top 20 Quarterly updates.

John Reeder, Security Product Manager Leader for Nortel Enterprise
Multimedia Systems, is responsible for driving the overall security
strategy in to the product life cycle. With nearly 20 years experience
in data communications and security his knowledge extends across
various security solutions, strategies and products.
