Topic: Intrusion Detection and Incident Response
Presenter: Rob Lee
Presentation Title: Incident Management and Response Guardent

Location: Lilly Auditorium, University Library (lower level)
IUPUI (for directions, see www.ulib.iupui.edu)

Date: Wednesday, August 15th, 2001
Time: 1:00 - 3:00 PM.

Rob Lee will cover incident response, management, and forensics in this quarter's presentation. In that incident response is often confused with a full blown computer investigation, Mr. Lee will demonstrate the differences and the similarities of each and how each one is vitally important to any organization that is connected to the internet. Also, he will cover the future and integration of incident response, intelligence gathering and analysis, the importance of data mining, and how it all fits together. Using tales of success and failure from experience in the military and in the public sector, Mr. Lee will demonstrate the future success of a well-prepared incident response team.

We look forward to seeing you at this free presentation, and we encourage you to bring co-workers or friends who might also have an interest in this topic.

Webcast of MSP InfraGard Crisis and Consequence Management … A Medical Response Perspective 11. September 2001 by Edward J Lord, CEO of Salus International Inc.

How fearful are we that terrorists will eventually use biological weapons in an attack on the United States? If you had to take all the public health problems that confront us today (there are many that will kill thousands and thousands of people in the future), but there is none that I believe will actually cause the panic and the death like bio-terrorism will, and that's a given.
