BayThreat 2013, the fourth annual information security conference in the San Francisco South Bay, will be held December 6th & 7th. Many South Bay security professionals attend this technical conference. Cisco is a proud sponsor and my colleague, Joe Karpenko, and I will be presenting Beware of Network: Unleash your Network on Threats and Adversaries.

We'll discuss the results of Cisco's ongoing threat analysis research and how to leverage network instrumentation as critical incident response components that will help protect your network infrastructure, proprietary and customer information, servers, clients, and users. Network instrumentation is the basis of many of our incident response recommendations and ideally should be implemented while we are preparing to respond to incidents, not in the middle of one. Once we've instrumented the network we can leverage the information it provides to gain insight into and quickly respond to threats.

The full list of presenters for the two day conference is here. Please join us and all of the other attending security professionals on December 6 & 7, 2013 at the Hacker Dojo in Mountain View, CA for BayThreat 2013!
