SANS Tool Talk Webcast: NAC - After the Honeymoon

FEATURED SPEAKERS: Alok Agrawal, Jimmy Ray Purser, and Robb Boyd
http://www.sans.org/info/21669
Sponsored By: Cisco Systems http://www.cisco.com/

It's fair to say that NAC, or Network Admission Control, has certainly
enjoyed its day in the sun. Despite being a very real technology solving
very real problems, NAC has now moved out of the spotlight of center
stage and is firmly entrenched as a set of technologies that every
enterprise has some kind of an opinion on. Whether you have deployed
some type of NAC solution today, have plans for it in the future or
perhaps are truly wondering what the heck we are talking about.this
conversation is for you. The problems can be pretty easy to understand
but the devil is in the details - we promise to sort through the details
in this interactive conversation. Please join Robb Boyd from Cisco's
TechWiseTV as he welcomes his panel of experts, Jimmy Ray Purser, Chief
Geek for Cisco's TechWiseTV and Alok Agrawal, Manager of Technical
Marketing from Cisco's NAC Business Unit.

SANS Special Webcast: Things That Go Bump in the Network: Embedded Device Security

Embedded devices come into your network and appear in many different
forms, including printers, iPhones, wireless routers and network-based
cameras. What you might not realize is that these devices offer unique
opportunities for attackers to do damage and gain access to your network
- and to the information it contains. This webcast will review known
embedded device vulnerabilities and cover how these vulnerabilities can
be used to gain control of devices, networks, and data - and, more
importantly, what can be done about it.

among nearly 200 respondents who signed up for our drawing.

SANS Special Webcast: Pinpointing and Proving Web Application
Vulnerabilities with Eric Cole
WHEN: Monday, December 10, 2007 at 1:00 PM EST (1800 UTC/GMT)
FEATURED SPEAKER: Dr. Eric Cole
http://www.sans.org/info/20057
Sponsored By: Core Security

The September "Internet Security Threat Report" from Symantec reported
that 61% of all vulnerabilities disclosed in the first half of 2007 were
web application vulnerabilities. It's no wonder, since web apps are
often highly customized and can be rife with potential security holes.
Fortunately, recent advances in penetration testing products can help
you to pinpoint and prove web application security weaknesses - even in
customized apps.

How deep can traffic inspection reach without hindering data flow and
how much data should it store for post-mortem analysis? Join this
Webcast to hear senior SANS Analyst Jerry Shenk go over his test results
on the NetDectector/NetVCR 2005 and features such as full packet
inspection and the ability to call up and review raw data in its native
format.
