Web Cast 1
WhatWorks in Intrusion Prevention Systems: "Low-Maintenance Security"
Tuesday, April 25 at 1:00 PM EDT (1700 UTC/GMT)
Featuring: Alan Paller and Brian Locke
https://www.sans.org/webcasts/show.php?webcastid=90711
Sponsored by (nfr)(security)

After reaping the rewards of a low-maintenance IPS at his previous
employer, Brian Locke began looking for a similar solution to meet
compliance needs for a large number of diverse clients. Flexibility was
also paramount. He found his previous solution again met his needs:
It required "extremely low care and feeding and [was] the only clear
and sane choice" for his new environment.

Brian Locke is the manager of network security and planning for an
international services consulting and integration company. There
are three people in his team; the IT department consists of about a
dozen people.

Locke previously served a financial services firm for two years as
the manager of network security and planning. His responsibilities
included implementation and management of network intrusion detection
and prevention systems, vulnerability management systems, systems
integrity management, security awareness planning, incident response
planning and regulatory compliance.

Web Cast 2
Tool Talk: From Logs to Logic: Turning Log Piles into Log Intelligence
Wednesday, April 26 at 1:00 PM EDT (1700 UTC/GMT)
Featuring: Glen Sharlun
https://www.sans.org/webcasts/show.php?webcastid=90709
Sponsored by Arcsight

The collection and management of logs is essential, but just the
beginning of the critical practice of intelligent use of this
information. Real value is delivered when this information enables
organizations to do their job more effectively and efficiently. The
crucial discussion starts by asking "what do you need to get done?"

Join us for this technical discussion on log management and learn:

 * Functional differences between log aggregation and log intelligence
 * Fundamental capabilities you should demand from any log aggregation tool
 * How to derive actionable insights from a flood of data
 * Best practices in developing a sustainable log management program

Glen is responsible for the rapid development and delivery of
"Strategic Solutions" to ArcSight's customers. Building on his years
of experience of global network operations as the lead executive
for the protection of the U.S. Marine Corps' world-wide network,
he has the operational mind-set and experience to identify and
then deliver immediate value to ArcSight's customers. Having
been responsible for all budgetary, personnel and operational
prioritization; 24/7 global monitoring, response & forensics; and
being the Certification/Compliance Authority before that, Glen has
a well rounded view of effective operations. He has been regularly
taking these experiences to the market space since 2001 as faculty for
SANS, at select CSO events and the Pentagon Security Forum. Glen is a
graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and the Naval Postgraduate School
(MS, Info Tech Mgmt), and has (and instructs) numerous certifications
from ISC2, SANS and the NSA.
