September 11, 2008 | Detroit, MI | 8:30am - 1:00pm (register)

Don’t miss your opportunity to join Martin Roesch, SNORT® Creator and Sourcefire® Founder and CTO, as he discusses where he believes network security is heading and how it will evolve. If you are a network security, risk management, or compliance professional, you will want to be sure you attend this event for your future planning.
During this free, half-day seminar, Mr. Roesch will share why he believes network security needs to change and how he believes it will evolve. He will discuss what lies beyond IPS and why having context through real-time network security monitoring is so important. Mr. Roesch will also discuss the value of technologies such as Network Behavior Analysis (NBA), Vulnerability Assessment (VA), and Network Access Control (NAC).
This seminar will also include a demonstration of Adaptive IPS technology where users get increased network security as well as dramatically fewer false positives. Adaptive IPS leverages endpoint intelligence, aggregated by passive and targeted active scanning, to automatically apply IPS rules based on the actual assets protected on the network. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Register for the complimentary seminar now.

In this 37-minute presentation, you will learn what Security 3.0 is, how it can benefit your organization, and what it takes to get there. You will also learn how to leverage Enterprise Threat Management (ETM) technologies to protect your organization before, during, and after an attack.
Security 3.0 is about getting out of a reactive mode and into a proactive mode by building security everywhere it can be. Security 3.0 allows you to see the likelihood of new threats and determine the solutions that you will need.
By watching this Webcast, you will:
  • Discover how to prepare for all phases of the threat continuum
  • Learn in detail what ETM is
  • Find out how to build up security before, during, and after an attack
  • Learn how to increase your traffic but not your threat risk
  • Discover the role of network and user intelligence
  • Hear about the role of Vulnerability Assessment (VA) in ETM

Enterprise Threat Management (ETM): Bringing Security Together Through Intelligence
Archived webcast | presented by David Thomason, Sourcefire's Director of Security Engineering
While IT security spending has been on the increase in recent years, unfortunately so have vulnerabilities and successful attacks. Enterprises are still being infected with undetected, targeted malware—evading traditional perimeter and host defenses. Professional hackers are in it for the profit now and are creating sophisticated ways to steal data without being detected. Employees are unintentionally—and intentionally—creating new vulnerabilities all the time. Just throwing more money at the IT security problem is no longer the solution. As a result, more and more risk, compliance, and security professionals are turning to a new holistic, security approach which unifies IPS, Network Behavior Analysis (NBA), Network Access Control (NAC), and Vulnerability Assessment technologies—through intelligence—under one management console. This approach is called "Enterprise Threat Management (ETM)." By providing actionable threat, endpoint, network, and user intelligence, the Sourcefire 3D System delivers continuous ETM and compliance enforcement. It also determines the potential risk a threat specifically has to your network—allowing you to easily prioritize the daily flood of security alerts and identify the most critical events. You spend your time on the events that may impact your organization, not chasing false positives and negatives. With ETM and the Sourcefire 3D System, you get effective and efficient network security before, during, and after an attack. access the webcast

SANS What Works in Intrusion Prevention: Peering Deeply into the Network at Weill Cornell Medical College
An inability to see deep inside its network to determine security weaknesses and other potential concerns prompted Weill Cornell Medical College to seek an intrusion detection system. The SNORT rules community helped to put Sourcefire at the top of the pile, but it was the RNA (Real-time Network Awareness) option, which provides even greater insight and reduces false positives, that closed the deal.
