Unfortunately summer is over. But hey, we have a great line-up for our fall OttSec Meetups! Here are the details for September:
Topic:
OSSEC is a multiplatform open source Host-Based IDS. It performs log analysis, integrity checking, Windows registry monitoring, rootkit detection, real-time alerting and active response. This presentation will provide a technical overview of what OSSEC does, how it works, and how anyone can leverage it for their own internal security needs. We will also cover the concept of LIDS (log-based intrusion detection) and provide examples of how real attacks and policy violations were detected using it.
Bio:
Daniel B. Cid is the lead developer and founder of the OSSEC project. He has been working in the security area for many years, with a special interest in intrusion detection, log analysis and secure development. He is currently working at Third Brigade as a principal researcher. In the past, he worked at Q1 Labs, Sourcefire and NIH.
After the presentation we'll have plenty of time for Q&A, as well as our usual discussion of current topics, threats, and tools.
Where:
The Fox and Feather Pub, 283 Elgin St (Elgin at Somerset). We'll be in the back room upstairs.
When:
Monday September 22 7:00 p.m.
Contact:
Dale Neufeld (canuck.eh [at] gmail.com) or Mike Sues (msues [at]
rigelksecurity.com). RSVPs are appreciated so that we can make proper
arrangements with the pub.
