Intrusion Detection and Prevention: Present and Future

Dennis Brown and/or Richard MacVarish
Verisign

Viruses, worms, and other malware are a constant threat to any network.
Technologies such as Intrusion Detection and Prevention systems help
identify and mitigate these threats, and provide a picture as to what is
actually happening on a network. This talk focuses on explaining what
IDS and IPS are, where they came from, and where they is going.

The goal of this talk is to present a clear picture of what IDS and IPS
systems are capable of, and how to properly deploy them. Tools such as
Snort will be discussed and explained, as well as techniques and
methodologies surrounding IDS and IPS. 

Be there, or be insecure!
