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

WEBCAST 1

SANS Special Webcast: Stephen Northcutt Presents: Managing Vulnerability
Situational Awareness
WHEN: Wednesday, April 2, 2008 at 2:00 PM EDT (1700 UTC/GMT)
FEATURING: Stephen Northcutt
http://www.sans.org/info/24794
Sponsored By: Core Security Technologies http://www.coresecurity.com/

Stephen Northcutt challenges leaders to move past "Security Theater",
practices like confiscating nail files in airport security or running
vulnerability scans and taking no action or pretending a SIEM "partial
implementation" actually helps create effective security. If we want to
get better and actually implement security well one of the atomic keys
is to configure the system correctly and maintain that configuration.

Stephen will discuss the three views, the inside view, outside view and
user view that give us the information we need to assess the
configuration of our system. We can use tools like the Center for
Internet Security toolsets to create the inside view, vulnerability
scanners and exploitation tools like CORE for the outside view and to
get the user view we need to run a number of tests to determine the
level of awareness and practice. The data from all three views gives us
the ability to accurately assess our exposure to threat.

WEBCAST 2

SANS Special Webcast: Data Leakage Landscape: Where Data Leaks and How Next
Generation Tools Apply
WHEN: Thursday, April 3, 2008 at 1:00 PM EDT (1700 UTC/GMT)
FEATURED SPEAKERS: Barb Filkins, Robert Hemeryck, Malte Pollmann, and Deb
Radcliff
http://www.sans.org/info/24799
Sponsored By: TrendMicro and Utimaco Software
http://us.trendmicro.com/us/home/ and http://americas.utimaco.com/

Data leakage occurs everywhere computing is conducted - whether it be
hand-helds, USB tokens or even protected internal computers where cut,
copy and paste functions are difficult to control. Organizations need a
map of these leakage points so they can plug them and protect themselves
against regulatory violations.

This Webcast discusses where and how data leaks, what types of privacy
violations these leakage points present, and what to do about them.

WEBCAST 3

Internet Storm Center: Threat Update Webcast
WHEN: Wednesday, April 9, 2008 at 1:00 PM EDT (1700 UTC/GMT)
FEATURING: Johannes Ullrich
http://www.sans.org/info/25578

This monthly webcast discusses recent threats observed by the Internet
Storm Center, and discusses new software vulnerabilities or system
exposures that were disclosed over the past month. The general format
is about 30 minutes of presentation by senior ISC staff, followed by a
question and answer period.

WEBCAST 4

WhatWorks in Event Log Management: Solving FISMA Compliance Demands
WHEN: Thursday, April 10, 2008 at 1:00 PM EDT (1700 UTC/GMT)
FEATURING: Elvis Shields-Moreland and Alan Paller
http://www.sans.org/info/24773
Sponsored By: LogLogic http://www.loglogic.com/

A need to meet the vague requirements of FISMA compliance prompted
Lockheed to look for a new log management product to replace a recently
acquired tool with one more suited to its manpower and skill level
requirements. The company found a solution that had lower total cost of
ownership, could process all logs and had correlation capabilities to
show attack indicators.

WEBCAST 5

SANS Special Webcast: Eric Cole's "Find and Fix Security Exposures before
You're [in a Heap of Trouble]"
WHEN: Tuesday, April 15, 2008 at 1:00 PM EDT (1700 UTC/GMT)
FEATURING: Dr. Eric Cole
http://www.sans.org/info/25583
Sponsored By: Core Security http://www.coresecurity.com/

Please join Eric Cole for a discussion of how to keep your information
systems in check as the vulnerability landscape rolls out around you
with this free webcast: "Find and Fix Security Exposures before You're
[in a Heap of Trouble]"

During the webcast, Eric will examine the technologies available for
assessing both the security of your network systems and the
effectiveness of the defenses meant to protect them.

WEBCAST 6

Tool Talk Webcast: A Blueprint for Successful NAC Deployments
WHEN: Wednesday, April 16, 2008 at 1:00 PM EDT (1700 UTC/GMT)
FEATURING: John Curry
http://www.sans.org/info/24618
Sponsored By: StillSecure http://www.stillsecure.com/

This webinar will discuss the challenges associated with NAC deployments
and provide organizations with a blueprint on how to cost-effectively
take advantage of this critical technology. Learn first hand how your
organization can benefit from this ground-breaking technology.

WEBCAST 7

SANS Special Webcast: Log Management Part II: Real-Time Event Management
WHEN: Thursday, April 17, 2008 at 1:00 PM EDT (1700 UTC/GMT)
FEATURED SPEAKERS: Dave Shackleford and Sunil Bhargava
http://www.sans.org/info/25588
Sponsored By: Intellitactics, Inc. http://www.intellitactics.com/int/

This Webcast discusses how logs and event correlation should be managed
for compliance purposes and how auditors, working closely with security
and operations teams, can help develop processes that leverage logging
and event data to measure the effectiveness of their controls.

WEBCAST 8

SANS Special Webcast: Monthly Series: Security Insights with Dr. Eric Cole
This month's topic: DLP
WHEN: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 at 1:00 PM EDT (1700 UTC/GMT)
FEATURING: Dr. Eric Cole
http://www.sans.org/info/25593
Sponsored By: Code Green Networks http://www.codegreennetworks.com/

Cyber security is all about reducing risk to critical assets. Protecting
and controlling data flow is a critical part of an organizations
security arsenal. Therefore data loss prevention would seem like a
perfect solution for reducing risk. However, just because a product is
called a data loss prevention solution, does not necessarily mean that
it properly reduces risk. Before purchasing or deploying a solution it
is critical to understand the key risks you are trying to reduce and
make sure the solution is the most cost effective way to reduce risk.
This talk will provide insight into what product features are most
valuable and which solutions should be avoided. To accomplish this it
will provide a detail understanding of the landscape and the best way
to protect data at an organization. Register now for this free webcast!

WEBCAST 9

Analyst Webcast: Security and Performance on Converged Networks
WHEN: Thursday April 24, 2008 at 1:00 PM EDT (1700 UTC/GMT)
FEATURED SPEAKERS: Dave Shackleford and Karl Schaub
http://www.sans.org/info/25603
Sponsored By: NIKSUN http://www.niksun.com/

Events from security and monitoring devices fire off an unmanageable
number of alarms with no way of telling how they're related, or how they
impact performance. As networks converge their video, voice and data
traffic over IP networks, these alarms will only increase, while
providing less visibility into what set them off. This Webcast discusses
what will be needed of security monitoring tools as these data, voice,
video convergence becomes ubiquitous.

WEBCAST 10

Tool Talk Webcast: Staying on Top of the SANS Top 20 with CORE IMPACT
WHEN: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 at 1:00 PM EDT (1700 UTC/GMT)
FEATURING: Anthony Alves
http://www.sans.org/info/25608
Sponsored By: Core Security http://www.coresecurity.com/

The 2007 "SANS Top 20 Internet Security Risks" report makes it clear
that attackers can now circumvent many traditional countermeasures, so
simply **implementing** countermeasures is no longer enough. In fact,
short of experiencing a breach, the only way to really know your
security posture is by continually testing the defenses you've worked
so hard to put in place.

Please join Core Security Technologies to learn how regular,
commercial-grade penetration testing provides unmatched visibility into
your true security posture.

WEBCAST 11

SANS Special Webcast: The Little Hybrid Web Worm That Could
***Previously scheduled for 3/6/08***
WHEN: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 at 1:00 PM EDT (1700 UTC/GMT)
FEATURING: Billy Hoffman
http://www.sans.org/info/24614
Sponsored By: HP http://www.hp.com/

This webcast examines the possibility of hybrid web worms which use
several methods to overcome the limitations of current web worms.
Specifically the authors examine how a hybrid web worm: mutates itself
to evade defenses; updates itself with new attack vectors while in the
wild; and finds and exploits targets regardless of whether they are
client web browsers or web servers.
