[Cialug] Security Goings On

[Josh More]

Since some folks on this list like technical security even when it's not specifically Linux-related, I wanted to point folks towards three events happening soon.  Yes, I am speaking at them all, so there's some self-promotion involved... but I wouldn't be sharing them here if I didn't think that they'd be worth some of your time.


1) University of Iowa IT Security Day - Wednesday, October 20th - Free
Overview:  Presentations on hacking, web security, forensics, law enforcement and threat overview
Details:  http://itsecurity.uiowa.edu/securityday/secday10.shtml



2) Infragard Annual Meeting - Wednesday, October 27th - $30 for Infragard members, $45 for non-Infragard members  (includes lunch)

If you are interested in professional development and making the leap to a higher pay grade, this is meeting to attend.  I have been deeply involved in setting it up, and it's going to be AWESOME.



3) Barrier1 / Certified Ethical Hacker Class - Friday, November 5th - $250 for ISSA and Infragard members, $295 for everyone else (includes lunch)
