Overcoming the Limitations in Network Security Monitoring
Ron Gula, CEO of Tenable Network Security, will discuss the current state of the information security industry and focus on how we tend to take our security tools at face value. Mr. Gula will provide many examples on how firewalls, intrusion detection systems, vulnerability scanners, penetration tests and even SIM dashboards can be put to much better use for monitoring security events and demonstrating compliance.

Welcome
The primary goal of the Information Systems Security Association, Inc. (ISSA) is to promote management practices that will ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of organizational information resources. Information systems security is an increasingly critical aspect of information systems design and maintenance. Many organizations do not have dedicated information systems and network security personnel they have generalists many of whom are not familiar with information security practices. The ISSA is dedicated to providing resources to such people and organizations, as well as to generally raising the level of security and data privacy consciousness among information systems personnel in all organizations. The Baltimore Chapter is a local resource to be used by members and non-members alike.
To achieve this goal, members of the Association must reflect the highest standards of ethical conduct and technical competence. Therefore, ISSA has an established Code of Ethics and requires its observance as a prerequisite and continuation of membership and affiliation with the Information Systems Security Association.
ALIG
In terms of the chapter’s ALIG agreement with (ISC)2, the chapter will receive funding from (ISC)2 for every CISSP who is also a member of ISSA Baltimore at the end of 2009. This is a significant source of funds to the chapter and helps keep the chapter dues low.
If as at 12/31/2009 you were both a member of ISSA Baltimore and a CISSP and your name was not listed in the recently sent ALIG email, please complete and submit this form.
