Presentation: Diagnosing Application Performance Issues in Your Network - Applications today have so many moving parts that it is difficult to pinpoint the cause of poor application response times, and the network is often the first to be blamed. Typical network monitoring tools provide limited visibility, and downtime often has a huge financial impact. Discover new ways to visualize the network from an application-focused perspective, and greatly reduce the time it takes to get problems resolved.
Speaker: Steve Fry, Senior Account Executive with OPNET Shawn Eustis, Applications Engineering Director with OPNET
Topic: Application Performance Management - it's not always the network!
BIO: Shawn has over 10 years experience in IT, focused on application performance management and packet analysis. He has helped diagnose troublesome performance issues of many clients in every vertical during that span.

Presentation: Maintaining "Link Layer Visibility" in Network Monitoring
Speaker: Tony Zirnoon, CISSP
Topic: Most network monitoring tools do not have access to the real physical and link layer of the network, since they are using techniqies such as spanned ports, aggregators and/or netflow. These techniques can introduce aggregation and do not address the issue of losing Link Layer Visibility!
So there you are, you've just bought an analytic tool and you want to get more coverage, say to a few other local network segments - after you realize it's not running at capacity, and you buy an aggregator to place between your network segments and your tool. Guess what... You've lost Link Layer Visibility... You've lost critical information about the nature of the data you're trying to monitor.
You don't know which network segment your tool is looking at, or what your tool does when looking at multiple different network segments, tool results are not correct and you start losing packets because there are now collisions introduced at the ingress, again by the aggregator, in fact - it's worse than that. Sessions are now mixed together and your tool may not be able to differentiate between one session and another - from packets arriving on one port and packets arriving on a different port.
There's nothing wrong with adding an aggregator, that's fine, but next time you're in need - take a look at the VSS line of products which preserve Link Layer Visibility, through advanced features such as Port & Time stamping, High data burst buffers, Microburst detection & Session aware load balancing. Multiply that with the industry's only true Mesh deployment architecture, as opposed to the far less reliable Hub & Spoke approach - and not only do you benefit from seeing multiple network segments with the same, or with multiple different tools, but you also get much more resilient monitoring with a network wide view that self-learns, self-heals and never loses a packet!
What's the upshot to this discussion - I'm glad you asked! Only by preserving Link Layer Visibility can you guarantee you'll be able to find and process the packet that will lead to getting the network back up again. Using an aggregator that doesn't preserve Link Layer Visibility will help to conceal the problem, hide the packet at issue and keep your network down longer / impeding a resolution.
Add in an 80% reduction in Capex by introducing the Network Intelligence Optimization layer, a 50% reduction in Opex - as tools can be concentrated and you're looking in good shape to invest in more tools or facilities that will allow you to offer a differentiation to your end customer - and that's a good thing, so's a promotion because the Network's always up

Speaker: Jock Purnell, Owner/Consultant at JPNI and President of ISSA Hawaii
Topic: Web Application Firewalls - Protecting Your Web Sites and Data
Description: Last month you heard about various ways to hack your web sites, and saw how easy it is to do. This month's topic will cover some ways to protect against these attacks using Web Application Firewalls. Traditional Firewalls can block access but they don't check what's in the actual payload. For that, you need something that is Layer 7, Application Aware. Web App Firewalls fit this requirement, and can check and block such compromises as SQL Injections, Cross Site Scripting and so on. Another problem is in keeping CONFIDENTIAL data (social security numbers, account #'s, etc) from being inadvertently dispersed. One way of protecting your web site is to write perfect code, but this is not always possible. Hence, the need for a Firewall that is application aware. So, come and hear how to protect your web sites, and more importantly, the data behind them.

Presentation: Organized attacks can effect both large businesses and the smaller businesses they serve. How service providers and their customers can collaborate in 360 degree security solutions.
Speaker: Beau Monday, CISSP GSEC - Information Security Officeer - Hawaiian Telcom
Topic: Recent breeches of personal financial information have been widely publicized as having not only caused the normal concerns and inconveniences to consumers, but real material cost to the banks that have guaranteed the fraudulent transactions to maintain customer confidence despite the limits of their responsibilities. Even the largest banks and insurance companies with the most sophisticated security measure are vulnerable if their merchants and subscribers are unaware of the risk of vulnerabilities to their databases, transaction systems and their responsibility for intensified security.
Who's responsible for security in an end-to-end transaction: examples from the financial services and healthcare industries. Can a small business afford security? Or perhaps the better question is can they afford not to have it? Solutions available for even the smallest business can improve customer confidence.

IT Academy is a free service, open to the public, to provide online access to various Microsoft training courses. This service is also available in multiple languages. We'll be discussing the WHY -- the motivation behind this project with Microsoft. We'll also discuss the following: WHO can access this, HOW do people sign up, WHAT courses are available, WHERE are the courses, and WHEN can we access them?
BIO: 17 years working in IT, holding additional Master's Degrees in Psychology and Literature, which have been a surprising benefit while navigating in the world of IT. Worked in the private and public sector, learning how to maximize the resources and abilities of both. Convinced that there is a 'Noble Purpose' for IT; deriving meaningful objectives from complex projects and implementations to a front line of workers more interested in benefits realization than in IT engineering.

Inside/Out Threat Detection
Speaker:
Anthony K. Giandomenico
Director of Soluions Marketing Referentia
Topic:
How many times have we heard the phrase "It's not a matter of if, but when an attack occurs." I would say quite often over the last few years and now that statement couldn't be more true. With advanced attack technology and lack of protection technology, increased software vulnerabilities, skilled resources from the bad guys and a more or less apathetic attitude by businesses toward the problem, its highly probable that the attacks will continue to be successful in organizations around the globe. Although we are losing the battle of preventing the attacks, with the right architecture, tools, intelligence and methodologies we should be able to more accurately and efficiently detect the attacks and mitigate them once they are in the network. In this talk I hope to shed some light on how to accomplish this through better visualization and control of your network utilizing your current technology and some open source tools. It's your network so own it!
