This week’s DojoSec meetup looks like it’s going to be a good one; just check out the lineup!
Sean Wilkerson of Aplura will give a talk entitled “Void Your Warranty” which will discuss “the larger problem [of enterprise network security architecture] and what you can (and should) do to inspect, audit, and enhance your security solutions.”
Local blogger Dan Philpott will be giving what promises to be an interesting talk about FISMA, entitled “FISMA: It doesn’t bite.” For those of you who don’t know, Philpott founded FISMApedia.org—meaning that when it comes to FISMA information, he’s your guy.
In addition to giving an overview about FISMA and the compliance regimen created for it, Philpott will discuss FISMA “problems and possibilities, fallacies and [the] future of the FISMA framework.” The ultimate goal of the talk is to “present the FISMA framework as it is intended, not a mindless exercise at paper compliance, but as guidance and method to achieve functional security scoped to the risk of operation”
The third talk will be given by Eric Weakland of American University. As the Director of Network Security for American, Weakland plans to use the considerable skills and knowledge he has acquired to present a talk that will “include technical lessons learned from over a decade of practice with increasingly sophisticated tools, as well as valuable management lessons on how to best serve multiple, competing constituencies, in a chaotic campus IT environment.”
