Join us at Black Hat 2013 in Las Vegas this July, for our two-day hands-on Network Threat Defense, Countermeasures, and Controls course. Courses will be offered on July 27-28 and July 29-30, and attendees will learn and perform two network security roles. First, as a Security Practitioner, you’ll learn to secure and harden network infrastructure devices, and second, as a Security Incident Response Investigator, you must correctly detect, classify, and mitigate threats attacking a network by configuring and deploying advanced network threat defenses and countermeasures. Learning these roles will help you prepare for and respond to real world threats such as the recent Financial Services, SpamHaus, and OpUSA Denial of Service Attacks. Read More »

Cisco Live Orlando, June 23-27, 2013, is quickly approaching and registration is open. The Security track this year includes 72 breakout sessions, 74 hours of labs and seminars, and 3 Product Solution Overview sessions, accounting for about 15 percent of all the content delivered at Cisco Live. New for this year we will have several talks aimed at the network engineer in the role of a data analyst, helping them to better utilize and understand the data that comes from their networks (BRKSEC-2001, BRKSEC-2006, BRKSEC-2011, BRKSEC-2062, BRKSEC-3031, and BRKSEC-3062).

My colleague, Joe Karpenko, and I will be presenting the Network Threat Defense, Countermeasures, and Controls Security Masters Dojo training course at the CanSecWest 2013 Applied Security Conference.
Attendees will perform two roles. First, as a Security Practitioner who will secure and harden devices within an organization’s network infrastructure, and second, as a Security Incident Response Investigator who must correctly detect, classify, and prevent threats targeting a network by configuring and deploying advanced network threat defenses and countermeasures.

BayThreat 2012, the third annual information security conference in the South Bay of San Francisco, will be held December 7–8 at The Firehouse Brewery in downtown Sunnyvale, Calif. This technical conference is well attended by security professionals from the top technology companies in the South Bay. Randy Ivener and Joe Karpenko, security specialists from Cisco Systems, will present “Network Threat Defense”at 10 a.m. Saturday at the conference.
Botnets, worms, and denial of service (DoS) attacks increasingly threaten the availability of every network, yet few network engineers realize the security benefits of leveraging network infrastructure to handle these attacks. “Network Threat Defense” will address how to build a more secure infrastructure and how to leverage inherent network features, such as NetFlow, to provide a full range of attack handling mechanisms. During the presentation, Ivener and Karpenko will briefly cover the following fundamental network security topics:
- State of network security
- Threat models for IP networks
- Incident response
- Secure network design
- Device hardening
- Introduction to NetFlow
