WEBCAST 1

WhatWorks Webcast: "Getting Back to Basics: Principles of System Lockdown"
Tuesday, May 22, 2007 at 1:00 PM EDT (1700 UTC/GMT)
Featuring: Dave Shackleford
https://www.sans.org/webcasts/show.php?webcastid=90866
Sponsored by: Core Security

Imagine a world where everyone's systems are patched, all unnecessary
services are disabled, and secure configuration guidelines are always
followed. Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it?

Fortunately, it's not. In fact, simply applying a few best practices
can go a long way toward preventing "electronic evil" on your network.

Join Dave Shackleford, vice president at the Center for Internet
Security and a SANS certified instructor, for a refresher on security
practices that will keep your company out of the headlines. You'll
learn:

    * Which basic system-hardening techniques you shouldn't miss
    * How to get started implementing and refining system lockdown processes
    * Where you can find additional resources for securing your network

This will be a perfect opportunity to measure your current security
processes against tried-and-true methods for protecting systems and
network devices.

Dave Shackleford is currently a Vice President at the Center for
Internet Security and was previously the CTO of a security consulting
firm. Dave has also worked as a security architect, analyst, and
manager for several Fortune 500 companies. His areas of specialty
include incident handling and response, intrusion detection and
traffic analysis, and vulnerability assessment and penetration testing.

WEBCAST 2

Ask the Expert Webcast: "PCI Compliance Made Easier: The Value of Security
Information and Event Management"
Thursday, May 24, 2007 at 1:00 PM EDT (1700 UTC/GMT)
Featuring: Dave Shackleford and Dave Anderson
https://www.sans.org/webcasts/show.php?webcastid=91026
Sponsored by: ArcSight

Implementing an effective PCI compliance strategy involves a
blend of audit and security technologies and processes. In many
environments, this can easily create an overwhelming flood of
data. What's important? What events are related to one another? A
number of products exist today that address specific aspects of PCI,
but are you really getting the most bang for your buck? Spending money
on point solutions that only handle one aspect of your overall security
and compliance program may not be the best way to go. In this webcast,
we'll discuss the technology landscape today with regards to logging,
event and information management, and the never ending pursuit of
the perfect audit trail.

Dave Anderson, Senior Product Marketing Manager at ArcSight has
over 13 years of experience in information security, compliance,
and risk management field. Currently, Mr. Anderson is a member of
ArcSight's Network Synergy Platform (NSP) team where he is setting
the strategic market direction for the NSP product line and direct
go-to-market activity to meet its business objectives. His expertise
includes security and operational management positions at KPMG,
InterTrust, NetReliance, and VeriSign. Most recently Mr. Anderson
developed and delivered compliance solutions for multiple standards
and regulations, including Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, ISO 17799/27001,
Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLBA), US Safe Harbor and PIPEDA Privacy Acts,
and SAS70. Dave's experience also includes implementing and auditing
IT Governance solutions, many based on COSO, CobiT, and ITIL standards.
