The Hudson Valley CyberSecurity Consortium ( http://www.hvcsc.org/ ) will be having our first public meeting at Marist College (See http://www.hvcsc.org/meeting-calendar for directions) on Oct 27 with Eric Wedaa presenting about "LongTail: Analyzing ssh brute force attacks" ( http://longtail.it.marist.edu ) All people interested in cybersecurity are welcome to the public meetings!
The Hudson Valley Cyber Security Consortium consists of colleges, universities, students, and business partners in the Hudson Valley interested in working together to both improve the security of our institutions, and to improve our training of the next generation of security professionals. We aim to do this by providing a communications path for members to share tools, presentations, research, and research ideas, both electronically, and via meetings and conferences. The HVCSC is aimed towards both students of cybersecurity, and IT professionals in the academic environment in the Hudson Valley. By dual tracking our membership, we can both help develop IT staff of tomorrow, as well as provide an area where IT staff can share ideas, information, and security issues that effect the educational IT environment. Both our monthly meetings and our yearly conference provide a place for papers and projects by both students and by IT Professionals, to be presented to a security audience and provide an informal place to share stories, problems, and solutions. Where we are different from a LUG (Local Users Group) is that all the members are professionally involved in security, or are in the process of becoming IT professionals dealing with security. HVCSC is not for managers and CIOS, but is for those IT professionals "in the trenches", and for IT/CSC/CMPT/MIS students and faculty. By narrowing our focus we hope to provide a more targeted and appropriate communications to these people.
