Cool ISSA opportunities coming up! - Greenville, SC

Yeah!

I am very excited about some opportunities coming up at my ISSA chapter, but first a word of thanks to all the TE members that pointed me in the direction of ISSA (especially JDMurray). I have the opportunity to network, and learn from people with years of experience in the security industry.

First of all there will be a four-hour long Ethical Hacking Workshop on February 27th starting at 10:30AM. Emphasis will be placed on Backtrack4. $25 if you are not an ISSA member (believe it or not they have found if they charge for it people show up

).

Second there is a local ISSA member teaching classes in Cellular Forensics that really caught my attention (remember I am fascinated by anything wireless). I think I have convinced him into giving college student discounts

Send a PM my way if you have any questions. I would really like to meet some of you TE members at the Ethical Hacking Workshop

I'm glad your ISSA chapter has such cool events! Not too many hacker-types in my chapter, so I don't know if a BT4 class would be a big draw. Probably a CISSP CBK survey class would be more our speed (lots of people in suits at our meetings

)

As a side note: the (former) president of ISSA International, Howard A. Schmidt, has been appointed as President Obama's newest cybersecurity coordinator for the White House (a.k.a., Cyber Czar). ISSA International Board member Kevin Richards has been appointed as the President of ISSA International to replace Schmidt.

Just came back from a really good presentation at the Upstate ISSA on Cellular Forensics! Thomas Slovenski from Cellular Forensics, LLC was the speaker, and gave us a good overview on what mischief can be expected in the future with cellular spyware, etc.

Next week on Saturday morning at 8:30 is the Ethical Hacking Workshop! Can't wait!

I was able to be at the Ethical Hacking workshop Saturday, and really enjoyed it. It turned out to be a success so the fellow that was teaching is considering doing a follow up session to dig deeper into BackTrack.
