Please join us the upcoming weeks for the following informative, free
SANS webcasts that you won't want to miss!

WEBCAST 1

SANS Ask the Expert Webcast: Going beyond log management to solve security,
risk and audit challenges
WHEN: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 at 1:00 PM EST (1800 UTC/GMT)
FEATURED SPEAKERS: Dave Shackleford and Vijay Basani
http://www.sans.org/info/21684
Sponsored By: eIQnetworks http://www.eiqnetworks.com/

In this webcast, learn the benefits of going beyond log management to
perform end-to-end correlation and analysis, how compliance can tie into
the use of security technologies, and why the future of security
information management (SIM) systems is shaping up to integrate
security, risk and audit management onto one platform.

WEBCAST 2

SANS Special Webcast: Things That Go Bump in the Network: Embedded Device Security
WHEN: Thursday, January 24, 2008 at 1:00 PM EST (1800 UTC/GMT)
FEATURED SPEAKER: Paul Asadoorian
http://www.sans.org/info/20262
Sponsored By: Core Security http://www.coresecurity.com/

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.

WEBCAST 3

SANS Special Webcast: The SANS Database and Compliance Survey
WHEN: Tuesday, February 5, 2008 at 1:00 PM EST (1800 UTC/GMT)
FEATURED SPEAKER: Barb Filkins
http://www.sans.org/info/20267
Sponsored By: Lumigent

How many organizations really understand their data privacy rules well
enough to know where and how to protect their regulated data with proper
audit?
What are their perceptions of data privacy regulations, and how are they
integrating compliance into their data management practices, starting
at the database?
These and other questions will be answered when, on Feb. 5, SANS analyst
Barbara Filkins uncovers the findings in the SANS Database Auditing and
Compliance Survey. Conducted over three months, 348 respondents answered
a variety of questions ranging from their perceptions of compliance
issues to security frameworks and roles and responsibilities for data
privacy protection inside their organizations.

We will also be announcing the $250 American Express card winner from
among nearly 200 respondents who signed up for our drawing.

WEBCAST 4

WhatWorks Webcast: WhatWorks in Intrusion Detection and Prevention:
Improving Network Visibility at GraceKennedy
WHEN: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 at 1:00 PM EST (1800 UTC/GMT)
FEATURED SPEAKERS: Alan Paller and Gregory Henry
http://www.sans.org/info/22559
Sponsored By: Sourcefire

A need for increased visibility into its diverse network prompted
GraceKennedy's security team to seek an intrusion detection system. They
found a solution that met all their needs and offered great tech
support, as well as a component that could establish a network activity
baseline and another that included a top vulnerability scanner for the
same price as other solutions they tried. GraceKennedy is one of the
Caribbean's largest and most dynamic corporate entities. The company
started in Jamaica in 1922 as a small trading establishment and wharf
founder. It has expanded and diversified over the years, changing from
a privately-owned enterprise to a public company listed on the stock
exchanges of Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean.
Today, the GraceKennedy Group comprises a varied network of some 60
subsidiaries and associated companies located across the Caribbean, in
North and Central America and the United Kingdom. The group's operations
span the food distribution, financial services, insurance, remittance,
hardware retailing and food-processing industries.

SANS Tool Talk Webcast: NAC - After the Honeymoon
WHEN: Tuesday, January 15, 2008 at 1:00 PM EST (1800 UTC/GMT)
FEATURED SPEAKERS: Alok Agrawal, Jimmy Ray Purser, and Robb Boyd
http://www.sans.org/info/21634
Sponsored By: Cisco Systems

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.

Internet Storm Center: Threat Update
WHEN: Wednesday, January 9, 2008 at 1:00 PM EST (1800 UTC/GMT)
FEATURED SPEAKERS: Johannes Ullrich and Michael Yaffe

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.
