Snip from an advisory from the SANS Internet Storm Center:
[Needed:] technically savvy volunteers who can help in two ways
- at the shelters in implementing Windows and Cisco systems for
the volunteers and people living there, and at Red Cross
headquarters in the Washington DC area to improve the
implementation of security software tools that have been
implemented but are not fully exploited. Here's how you can
help.
1. People who live near the shelters (or who could get there and
who have family/friends with whom you could stay), and who have
lots of experience deploying Windows XP and/or Cisco systems,
please register your willingness to help at this link. The Red
Cross will contact you directly.
2. People in the Washington DC area (or who could get here
quickly) and would volunteer to help, and who have substantial
experience with any of the following:
-- tuning Cisco IDS
-- tuning NetIQ Manager
-- tuning McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator
please do two things:
a. register online, and b. send me an email at [paller at
sans.org] telling me which tool you know well and how available
and close you are so I can set up a contact for you.
SANS is also donating $100,000 to the Red Cross, and we learned
today that at least one leading security vendor, TippingPoint,
has offered to give the Red Cross the equipment they need to
protect their networks - without asking for compensation.
If you know of people or companies in the IT or security field
who are trying to make a difference in the recovery effort,
please let us know what you or they are doing [Email paller at
sans.org].
