Perimeter Defense Day - Full Day Training – Sept 16, 2006
 

8:00 - 9:00 Registration

9:00-10:30 What is the perimeter? - (Mass Meeting, All Presenters)

Where is the perimeter these days anyway?

Wireless, Remote VPN, Laptops, Home connectivity, remote assistance, users checking home email from work, etc.

Defense in depth! Why we cannot JUST defend the perimeter

VPN, Virus, Trojans, Wireless (including Bluetooth), vulnerability scanning, patching, social engineering, permissions, RAS, RDP, HTTP, password security, multifactor authentication, security policies, GPO's, OWASP, Root Kits, etc., Security is far more than just systems. You have to look at physical security too! Backup "Planning", Disaster Recovery "Strategy"

This is a big picture look at security – The scope is far too much to cover in a single day. TONS OF TIPS!!!!!
