Mr. Musson will answer many questions in this vendor neutral presentation to include:
Did you ever wonder how a hardware and software solution differ in implementation and performance?
What does RTO and RPO mean to you and your environment?
What is the difference between File, Block and Bit level deduplication?
How variable length deduplication and fixed length deduplication works?
How does E-mail and File System archiving affect your RTO?

Presentation: Next Generation Firewalls
Speaker: Kelly Brazil, Palo Alto Networks
Topic: Firewalls are evolving.
While many have only seen an evolution of their marketing taglines, not their technology, enterprises now require a set of technologies in their network firewall that were previously unheard of. Perhaps most notably, application visibility and control has made its way to the forefront of the requirements list for enterprise firewalls.
For an enterprise, the difficulty is understanding the different approaches and how they fulfill the organization's requirements. The upside for most organizations is that there are real differences among the choices that enterprises have for firewalls--making the choice critical to get right, and potentially, strategically important to the safe enablement of enterprise-critical applications.
Kelly will lead a detailed discussion of:
* Next Generation Firewall ---what does that mean?
* How application chaos increases risk
* Applications that circumvent security policies
* How to gain visibility and control over applications
* Demonstration

Speaker: Jock Purnell
Topic: Apple in the Enterprise (iPads/iPhones and Macs)
Description:
With the interest in deploying Mac's, iPad's, and iPhones in the enterprise increasing, this presentation will examine how to do so responsibly. Obviously, they must be deployed in a secure manner, which includes both Security practices on the devices, as well as the implications of using cloud based storage offerings. Over the years, we've developed ways of deploying PC's both reliably and productively. Some of these same practices can and should be applied to Macs and iPhones/iPads, and there are tools available to do so. Some of the specific topics to be discussed include:
- Security aspects of Mac's, iPhones, and iPads
- Tools for managing
- Ways to distribute images and profiles, and restrict application access
- Security aspects of Cloud Based storage offerings
- Integration with Active Directory and Group Policies
BIO: Jock spent 30 years at IBM as a Senior SE and Global Services Network Consultant/Engineer and now runs his own IT Services company. Since leaving IBM, he has spent more time using Apple solutions, so is qualified to review how they fit into an enterprise setting.

ISSA Monthly Luncheon: Application Security in the SDLC - Practical Strategies

Presentation: You've read the articles about the latest data breaches and you've seen the presentations about the latest application attacks. You've been barraged with compliance requirements and you've heard the preaching about building security into the System Development Lifecycle (SDLC). As a method to thwart the bad guys, attain compliance and prevent data breaches, few would argue with the notion of integrating security into the SDLC. Of course, if we all had the benefit of "starting fresh" the task might be relatively easy. Unfortunately, reality is usually quite different and, most often, security professionals are called in to help well after the application is on the path to production. As a result, we are left wondering how we can get from "here" to "there."
Speaker: Kevin D. Spease. ISSA-Sacramento Valley Chapter President

Presentation: Social Networking is alive and well, but it is also a dangerous place if you're not careful. Even if we do not give out too much information about ourselves, it is possible to cull enough information from others to create a social network attack, not only on individuals, but companies as well. In this discussion, we explore some of the risks and dangers associated with social networking that can result in identify theft and the implications it has for both consumers and corporations. To prove the point, there will be a live demonstration of how some of these social attacks work. There will also be a summary of preventative measures and recommendations for reducing attack effectiveness.

Maximizing Security -- Point solutions vs Consolidation. Which is better?
Speaker:
Kostas Sfakiotakis
Topic:
Is cobbling together point solutions really the best way to maximize security? As information technology gets more complex, there are varying philosophies on the best way to approach security. Some adopt the approach of using only the best of breed products. Others adopt the approach of using solutions from one vendor to get the best results. Still others use open standards or freeware or Linux based solutions to tackle security on a shoestring budget. There are pros and cons to each of these. Come and share in the discussion about maximizing security at the ISSA Hawaii Chapter Luncheon.
