This month's meeting:

  Allan Bergen of ISS and Brent Huston of Microsolved will be talking
  about RealSecure and System Security Scanner (S3), two ISS
  products. 

  Though we don't often invite vendors to do dog-and-pony shows, I
  thought it was appropriate in this case since I am hoping to set up
  some sort of site licensing for both products at OSU, and thought
  this would be a good way to introduce them to people here.

  RealSecure is a network intrusion detection system - it watches the
  packets on the net and would normally be configured to alert you in
  the event of an intrusion attempt.  It can also be used to log the
  contents of these network sessions.

  S3 is a host based security checking program - it has some of the
  same features of COPS, Tiger and Tripwire, rolled into one system.
  Its currently available for UNIX, an NT version is coming soon.
  This is a great complement to their network security scanner (which
  we already have a license for).  

  Allan and Brent will talk about the products and give a demo.  I
  will also talk a little about how things have gone with the network
  scanning so far.  I am hoping that by Wednesday we'll have the
  schedule nailed down for campus wide network scanning - we're ready
  (finally) to move ahead with that.

When and Where

  The location is same as usual - Baker Systems 120.  If you need
  directions, let me know.

  The meeting will be on May 27 from 4-6 PM.

About these meetings:

  The Network Security Group meetings are usually held on the fourth
  Wednesday of each month from 4-6 PM on the Ohio State University
  main campus in Columbus (usually in Baker Systems 120).  The goal of
  our meetings is to share information about computer security tools,
  practices and problems.  Anyone and everyone are invited to attend.

  We also have mailing lists for people who are interested in
  discussing network security issues, or who just want announcements
  about meetings and security bulletins.  Send mail to
  netwog-security-request@lists.net.ohio-state.edu for more
  information.

  Note that this is *not* the same as the bi-weekly security lunch at
  Battelle (the AEGIS group), though you are welcome to attend
  either.  For me information about AEGIS, please contact me.
