Allen Rout, NERDC

Eli Ben Shoshan, NERDC
Kerberos is the gold standard for authentication in a hostile environment. The authentication supporting such big names as DCE and AFS, Kerberos uses strong cryptography to safeguard authentication transactions and data transfer.
Powerful protection is often complex, and Kerberos is no exception. How does Kerberos let you prove who you are without your password ever touching the network? Learn the basics of Kerberos, and why you want it protecting your passwords too.
1:00 -- Session 4 - Learning from Your Security Mistakes
John Kida, S3 Networks
A fun way to experience security threats is learning from other peoples security mistakes before they happen to you.
2:00 -- Session 5 - Secure Network Design

4:00 -- Session 7 - The Anatomy of an Attack and Risk Management
John Rezabek, Technical Product Manager, Internet Security Systems (ISS)
It is uncommon to go through a day in the Internet Age without some media bestowing the tragic news of a new network attack against a government, financial, educational, or commercial computer system.
Although our familiarity with hacker attacks has become common, for most, understanding how a perpetrator compromises a system is still a mystery.
In his Anatomy
of an Attack and Risk Management presentation, John Rezabek will
provide a detailed example of how easy it is for hackers to break
into and compromise today's networked computers. He will also illustrate
an example of how the recent DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service)
attacks function and how they can cripple a network and its services.
He will then address the importance of assessing and managing the
risks associated with e-business and Internet connectivity and what
companies can do to protect themselves against this risk. This presentation
will include real world visuals and anecdotes to detail in laymen's
terms an attack on a fictional company's system.
