Computer Attacks: Trends and Countermeasures Who should attend: System and network administrators who implement or maintain networks and site managers charged with selecting and setting site security requirements. Familiarity with TCP/IP networking is a plus. Many classic security problems, such as perimeter and host security, have become well defined and are routinely addressed by a wide range of product offerings; however, computer and network attacks are still on the rise. Effectively combating these attacks is a network and security management discipline with emerging strategies and solutions. This tutorial will cover the latest trends in computer attacks and the security precautions you can take against them, including defensive penetration analysis, host auditing, network logging solutions, and intrusion detection. After this tutorial, attendees will understand the important areas of security management. They will be able to defensively assess their system and network security. Additionally they will have an appreciation for auditing and monitoring hosts and networks for intrusions and storing critical information required for network forensics. Topics include:
