Our current outline:

Segment 1: Is Morality Limiting Your Profit Potential?
Pat Peterson, Cisco Fellow and IronPort security researcher joins us as we discuss the most alarming technical advancements made by bots like Conficker and how the lucrative nature of organized crime in this area if fueling incredible innovation.

Segment 2: The Architectural Approach to Modern Security Issues
The long vaunted and widely appreciated SAFE network documentation has been updated to reflect the architectural realities needed for todays threat. We reveal the latest changes and dive into the Campus Edge module to highlight examples of changes in both technology and philosophy.

Segment 3: Polymorphism and the Failure of Deep Packet Inspection
It is amazing how many professionals don’t fully understand and appreciate just how much the lowly browser has evolved. The hidden interaction with thousands of different processes located all over the world present a streamlined and easy interface the user but hide the true security risk of what is happening on the backside. Kevin Kennedy from IronPort draws it out for us and explains what can be addressed.

Segment 4: Is the Firewall Dead?
The traditional firewall is certainly dead but the role it plays in the network has simply evolved to the new reality. Jimmy Ray dissects some very interesting updates to the Cisco ASA (Adaptive Security Appliance) and provides valuable ‘rules to live by’.

We are also hosting a bevy of security geeks on the Cisco Stage from the show floor for 3 straight days - 16 presentations! Here is the current outline:

Tuesday, April 21, 2009
11:15 AM - Siva Mandalam, Director of Product Management, IOS & Router Security	"Extending the Office Experience"	Do you wish that you could eliminate your commute to the office? Are you looking for ways to improve workforce productivity? Are you doing your part to be a green citizen? As businesses find answers to these questions, remote workers, and associated security risks, are becoming more prevalent. This session discusses the challenges, technologies, and benefits of bringing the office to the home.
12:00 - Martin Pueblas	SAFE v2.0	SAFE is BACK! SAFE v1 rocked the security world with the first end to end architecture illustrating exactly how a proven, tested, 'defense in depth' strategy could be deployed throughout the network. SAFE v2 brings this vital model up to date for dealing with marriage of the latest threats AND the latest technologies for addressing them.
1:00 - Greg Carter	“A Holistic Approach to Information Security Risk and Compliance”	The two most critical and interrelated challenges facing Information Technology decision makers today are how to manage information security risk from rapidly evolving and increasingly sophisticated information security threats, and how to comply with a myriad of compliance obligations, all with limited available resources. The answer for more and more companies is to address Information Security within a comprehensive IT Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC) program. And companies that have implemented IT GRC programs are realizing dramatic business value from them. Using an IT GRC program to address information security allows an IT organization to identify, implement, and audit against a single set of security controls that comprehensively address all of their security and compliance requirements. Not only does this allow companies to maximize their information security risk reduction with available resources, but it can greatly reduce the cost of compliance Learn how Cisco Security Services can assist you in using an IT GRC program to effectively and efficiently address your information security risk and compliance challenges.
2:00 - Kevin Kennedy, Product Manager, IronPort Web Security Appliance	"Today's Web Threats Don't Discriminate"	Yesterday's defenses are no longer effective in the fight against today's sophisticated Web threats. The shift from viruses and worms to exploited legitimate sites, more unique pieces of malware, and the growth of social networking sites are forcing businesses to put up new defenses. These types of attacks do not discriminate and even the smallest IT security organization needs to defend their users. These new threats require more sophisticated, intelligent protection. Traditional signature and list based desktop defenses have migrated to the gateway, along with the latest in Web reputation and Web traffic scanning services. We will discuss: · The Latest Web threats - Botsites and Exploited Legitimate sites · Best practices in Web and data security, malware protection and enforcement of acceptable use policies · How organizations of any size can protect themselves
3:00 - Matt Kaneko and Laure Andrieux	"Secure Remote Access"	The industry's most integrated and versatile remote access/VPN solution. For organizations looking for an advanced VPN appliance that provides a wide range of connectivity options, endpoints, OS, and protocol support, while ensuring in-depth, granular security through posture assessment, data encryption, traffic inspection, and malware protection, Cisco Secure Remote Access offers a high-performance solution that will help companies optimize productivity and collaboration.

4:00 - Mei Huang, Product Marketing Manager	"Increased Threat Protection for SMB's with IPS Technology"	SMBs need strong security above and beyond a simple firewall. Technologies such as IPS used to be relegated only to large companies with security-savvy administrators. With the introduction of hardware-accelerated IPS on the Cisco ASA 5505, SMBs now can implement IPS in a cost-effective, easy-to-implement solution using the IPS Manager Express. This session will discuss best practices for IPS in SMBs.
