How Next-Gen Firewalls See ALL Network Traffic
Of course you already have a firewall. But is it really seeing everything? Traditional firewalls block or allow network traffic based on ports and IP addresses — but they cannot distinguish among the many Web applications running through ports 80 and 443. This presentation will discuss a new approach to firewall technology that enables enterprises to see and control applications, users, and content.

This Is Relevant to My Interests
A Practical & Rational Approach to Incident Response and Digital Forensics
Attention people, there has been a data breach! How you respond to a serious security incident can have a huge impact on your ability to recover and know why it happened. Do you panic and start shoveling money into a Tiger Team of crack responders? Or grab a cup of coffee and analyze the situation carefully? Frankly, the coffee would probably do you more good than hiring an expensive team of tigers. This presentation takes a reasoned and practical view of incident response, providing you with valuable insights into developing an incident response program and handling a serious event. Specifically, this presentation will address:
- What to do (and NOT to do) if you think there is a breach
- Who to call and when
- Steps to a sound, legally defensible investigation
- Why information management and intrusion prevention technologies are important to incident response
- Key components of an effective incident response plan
