WEBCAST 2
SANS Special Webcast: Monthly Series: Security Insights with Dr. Eric Cole
WHEN: Wednesday, February 20, 2008 at 1:00 PM EST (1800 UTC/GMT)
FEATURING: Dr. Eric Cole
http://www.sans.org/info/24134

The 2008 information security environment suggests new challenges and
increasing potential for organizations to fall victim to the latest
threats. While information security practices are improving, attackers
and business requirements continue to raise the bar for the security
professional. As organizations look at a technical landscape fraught
with viruses, web-based exploits and social-engineering attacks, data
loss challenges and beyond, the need to select proven technologies that
address threats to their unique environment is crucial. Too often
organizations are trying out new strategies and wonder what other
organizations have done in similar situations. One of the leading
experts in network security will draw above his teaching experience and
interacting with thousands of students and different organizations, to
show strategies that will allow organizations to implement cost
effective solutions. Participants will walk away with insights they can
directly apply, to increase their security. Register now for this free
webcast!

WEBCAST 3

Ask the Expert: The Security Professional As Sysyphus. Can The Cycle Be Broken?
WHEN: Thursday, February 21, 2008 at 1:00 PM EST (1800 UTC/GMT)
FEATURED SPEAKERS: Dave Shackleford and A.N. Ananth
http://www.sans.org/info/23049
Sponsored By: Prism MicroSystems http://www.prismmicrosys.com/

In this webcast, we'll discuss the reasoning behind a "whitelist"
approach, how change monitoring can complement logging and event
monitoring in your security program, and common system changes that may
indicate malicious activity.

WEBCAST 4

Tool Talk Webcast: A Practical Approach to Cyber Security within Control
System Environments
WHEN: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 at 1:00 PM EST (1800 UTC/GMT)
FEATURED SPEAKER: Brian Contos
http://www.sans.org/info/23054
Sponsored By: ArcSight http://www.arcsight.com/

Recently there has been substantial media hype surrounding cyber attacks
against critical infrastructure: oil and gas, power and energy,
chemical, etc. Few disagree that systems controlling critical
infrastructure make valuable targets for a wide range of attackers and
pursuits; but the FUD sometimes shadows the facts. So rather than debate
the threat level, this webcast will focus on empirical findings derived
from multiple, federally funded research projects. These collaborative
projects have brought together federal agencies, academia, control
system vendors, IT security vendors like ArcSight, and industry
representatives to research and test practical cyber incident
prevention, detection and response.

WEBCAST 5

Ask the Expert Webcast: Regulatory Compliance and Securing Endpoint Data
against Internal Threats
WHEN: Wednesday, February 27, 2008 at 1:00 PM EST (1800 UTC/GMT)
FEATURED SPEAKERS: Jim Hietala and Richard Stone
http://www.sans.org/info/23059
Sponsored By Credant Technologies http://www.credant.com/

This webcast will then discuss why today's dynamic IT environments must
move away from first gen encryption products and to a more data-centric,
not stand-alone, platform-specific point product of old. Gone are the
days of the "encrypt everything" approaches, which lack protection
against insider threats and have significant manageability, recovery,
and usability issues. Hear how a new solution simultaneously meets
security, IT operations, and compliance needs.

WEBCAST 6

SANS Special Webcast: How to Win Friends and Influence People (for
Penetration Testers)
WHEN: Tuesday, March 4, 2008 at 1:00 PM EST (1800 UTC/GMT)
FEATURING: Lenny Zeltser
http://www.sans.org/info/23064
Sponsored By: Core Security http://www.coresecurity.com/

The success of a security test is often determined in the planning stage,
when the "human element" plays a critical role. This is especially true
for penetration testing projects, which sometimes encounter political
hurdles before they even begin.
Please join us to learn how, with a little transparency and tact, you
can not only get approval for pen testing projects but also help
colleagues use the results to improve your overall security.
