Are usernames and passwords enough to secure remote access to internal corporate information assets? Join us to find out why network access control is not enough. Identity Management and Role-Based Access Control are key components of all emerging regulations such as HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, and ISO 17799 - we'll explain the technologies you can employ to tackle these challenges, such as two-factor authentication, biometrics, and authentication to the network itself, as well as services and applications. With applications tunneling more and more through HTTP, applications' using dynamically allocated ports, and increasing complex user needs, the network security perimeter is eroding. While IDS held the promise of solving this problem, it's created a bigger one: security incident data management. Can any one technology solve an organization's information security needs? Join Sea-Tug, CBE Technologies and FireTower as we discuss solutions to information security challenges at all levels of the infrastructure - perimeter/gateway, network, airwaves, and host - and discuss why even this is not enough to protect your information assets. We'll also discuss identity management and social engineering. About SEA-TUG: SEA-TUG is a technical user group (ie: for System Admins, not home users) meeting once a month on topics relating to IT Infrastructure, Hardware, Software, Security, Patches, Deployment, etc. We follow the popular User-Group format: a purely technical presentation followed by a technical/sales presentation (when appropriate). The first presenter sponsors a give-away and the second presenter will pay for the pizza and beverages. We are modeled after some of the more successful user groups down in the Boston area such as the "Boston Area Windows Server User Group", only without the two-hour drive back and forth. We are a Microsoft Mindshare User group. Sign up for the mailing list by sending an email with the word "subscribe" in the subject to: caretaker@sea-tug.com. You will NOT be added to any spam list or have your information sold or given away in any manner. We will only send out notices for meeting reminders and information related directly to group business.
