Location: ABN AMRO 550 West Madison Street Chicago, IL 60661 Discussion/Topics: Enterprise Threat Management (ETM): Bringing Security Together Through Intelligence Come hear Martin Roesch, recognized network security industry visionary and creator of Snort, the world's more downloaded and trusted intrusion detection and prevention technology speak at ISSA. Mr. Roesch will discuss that while IT security budgets continue to rise, attacks and threats continue to succeed. The days of "see a threat, buy a box" are gone. Many IT security professionals are moving to a holistic security approach—one that unifies—and often automates-- functions such as Intrusion Prevention, Vulnerability Assessment, Network Behavior Analysis (NBA), Network Access Control (NAC), and Compliance Enforcement. Many are calling this approach "Enterprise Threat Management (ETM)." In this presentation, Mr. Roesch will highlight how: - ETM unifies and automates key network security functions through intelligence—giving administrators an effective—and efficient—security approach all the time - Some Network Behavior Analysis (NBA) can tell, in real time, who is—and isn't—being compliant with regulations and policies, which laptop users are generating the most IDS events, what is running on the network, how to cut through the noise of tens of thousands of alerts, and when the network has been compromised before the network user knows When it comes to network security, many are finding that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Come hear for yourself at this special Enterprise Threat Management presentation. Presenter BIO: Martin Roesch founded Sourcefire in 2001 and serves as its Chief Technology Officer.
