I am going to be speaking at the Atlanta SecureWorld Expo. This is my third SecureWorld, and I have been going to the Expo since they started having them. I was asked to post the details of the talk and so here they are. My segment is part of the 2-day conference pricing structure (less than the cost of an hour’s consultation for 2 full days of great speakers and industry leaders), and I will be available in the Exhibit area much of both days. I am trying to secure a special rate for my readers here, and as soon as I can I will post the results.

An Internet search can net you hundreds of penetration testing tools, but which tools are going to help you the most to protect your network? What tools would you use in conjunction to see what was really going on in your wired network. The tools must be easy to use, and it must provide the best test you are capable of. Wolf Halton, security expert and open-source consultant, is here to set the story straight by giving you a “How to” virtual demonstration using the two best penetration tools available.

The Open Source movement has raised fear in the hearts of the closed-source traditional community. They consider the mere concept of making source-code readily available to be equivalent to letting people steal their corporate intellectual property. In response to this fear, software manufacturers have spent huge sums of money to infect you with this fear and make you suspicious of open-source projects and doubt the prudence of using open-source software in your organizations. Mostly, open source software distributors have not risen to the challenge to refute the claims. Wolf Halton, security expert and open-source consultant, presents The Seven Security Secrets of Open Source, to show you ways to improve profitability and lower the costs of doing business by using Open Source software.

Though my segment is non-free, the open Exhibit speakers are good.
