On December 9th and 10th I will be at the SANS Intrusion Detection Summit in Washington DC. speaking on two different panels, UNIX and Windows: Tools and Techniques and CIRTs and MSSPs. I highly recommend attending if you can. There are going to be a number of amazing speakers there. (Yes, I'm not sure how I got on the panels either.)
Following the success of the 2008 and 2009 editions of the SANS WhatWorks in Forensics and Incident Response Summits, SANS is teaming with Richard Bejtlich to create a practioner-focused event dedicated to incident detection operations. The SANS Incident Detection Summit will share tools, tactics, and techniques practiced by some of the world's greatest incident detectors in two full days of content consisting of keynotes, expert briefings, and dynamic panels.
