The inaugural meeting of the CSRA SUG kicked the group off nicely. The following presentations were given by George Laiacona:

• The Six Dumbest Ideas in Computer Security (http://www.ranum.com/security/computer_security/editorials/dumb/)
• IBM Global Business Security Index Report (http://www-1.ibm.com/services/us/index.wss/offering/bcrs/a1008776)
• FBI Computer Crime Survey (http://www.fbi.gov/page2/jan06/computer_crime_survey011806.htm).

In addition, there was open discussion on Syslog, SyslogNG, Cacti, MRTG, SolarWinds, Nessus and Knoppix, Snort sensor placement.
Plans for future meetings are in the works so stay tuned. Based on feedback from the group, meetings will likely be held after regular work hours.

Join the CSRA SUG mailing list to discuss all aspects of Snort and the group.
