Threat Analysis and Management : Deeper Knowledge for Information Security Teams
This talk will present a mechanism for mature security teams to actually model and analyze their real-world threat agents and make some insightful decisions about the attack patterns that they are faced with every day. Using this approach, security teams will be able to identify potential applications and services to be modeled, understand how to model them and know how to perform basic analysis to turn that information into knowledge that can help them better secure their information assets and give useful insight into overall corporate risk. Further, the talk will also include details of how organizations can better manage their risk and perhaps even control the behavior of potential attackers to some level.
Cost to attend is $10 members and $15 guests.

Key Security Considerations for your Enterprise Architecture
Virtualization technology is growing in popularity, and organizations are left with trying to determine how the technology will impact their infrastructure. Taking a one-size-fits-all approach is definitely not the answer, and many believe technology alone is the answer. The talk takes a pragmatic view of the different components of virtualization technologies and provides a perspective on how enterprises that are looking to deploy such technologies should think about their threat profile. It describes the people, process, and technology concerns that should be addressed before a full-scale deployment is undertaken. And finally, it provides some food for thought about the road ahead as this technology becomes more widespread.
- David Mortman CISSP, CSO Echelon One
“Considerations in Virtualization Deployment, Lessons Learned at a Fortune 500 Company”
So what really happens when you try to deploy virtualization in a single application per server environment? How do you get your customers to embrace the concept of virtualization and having their application environment being just one of many on a single virtualized server? What are the real life security and operational concerns that must be addressed? What are the advantages to your customers for virtualization?

Scott Frost, CISSP, CISM, CISA Tempest Networking
“Virtualization - Where’s it at and where’s it going?”
Recent announcements with Microsoft, VMWare, Oracle, Cisco and many others show that virtualization is here to stay and will be apart of your IT environment in a big way. From starting with the virtualization of servers, many shops are now starting to look at the virtualization of CPUs, Networks, and Storage. What tools and resources will be available to help manage this virtual world? As virtualization becomes more widespread, security issues will become more prominent. Professional hackers will be devoting their best efforts to breaking out of a virtual OS to owning all of your virtual world. What is out there that will help you to defend your virtual world? This presentation will bring you up to speed on the latest happenings in the virtual world.

Both environments will be explored and will highlight these area:
-History of virtualization at Nationwide and why it was chosen
-Deployment strategies for both host and guest.
-Functionality of the environments - their primary and secondary purpose.
-Redundancy features that are incorporated into the design.

Richard Rushing, AirDefense
War of the Airwaves – What Hackers Know That You Don’t:
War of the Airwaves – What Hackers Know That You Don’t: Wireless has become the new attack frontier in the “War of the Airwaves,” as deployments are moving from pilot to mission-critical. With growing wireless networks & increased worker mobility, the ever-present danger of new hacking tools is also on the upswing. Chances are the next attack on your corporate network is going to be via your wireless LAN. Also the knowledge needed to use tools to hack into wireless networks is decreasing. Hackers armed with sophisticated tools are launching attacks on networks that a year ago were said to be unbreakable.
This session will look at new ways that 802.11 networks are being exploited with actual examples and cover future generation tools and enable IT administrators to build defenses against them.
