Title:Network Security Monitoring (or NSM for short)
Presenter: Michael Boman
Abstract
NSM is the collection, analysis and escalation of indications and warnings to detect and respond to intrusions. NSM is an operational model inspired by the United States Air Force's signals intelligence (SIGINT) collection methods and Todd Heberlein's "A Network Security Monitor" (http://www.attackcenter.com).

Presentation 2
Title:All about G-TEC projects and a call for participation
Presenters: G-TEC Principal Investigator

Agenda
Let me bring to your attention SIG^2's G-TEC Software Vulnerability Research Project. If you have been monitoring bugtraq, you may have noted that SIG^2 has been submitting vulnerability reports since April this year. For the past 2 months, we have submitted:

# Sygate Personal Firewall PRO's Driver May be Disabled Locally by Malicious Programs
# Detecting Sebek Win32 Client
and lately,
# Buffer overflow in Compex NetPassage 15's Management Console

You can read all about it at: http://www.security.org.sg/vuln/index.html

Do you feel feel a calling? Do you hear the G-TEC lab calling? If you hear it, please check into Woodbridge [just kidding :)] Seriously, if you are interested to part of the team, please come down for this event, because we are doing a routine call for participation! Note that G-TEC members are an exclusive lot of people within SIG^2; and we only do recruitment once in a while. So dun, DUN miss this window!
