The Greater Augusta ISSA invites you to join us for our next meeting on November 30, 2017 featuring Dr. Johannes Ullrich presenting "Keeping Track of Evil Things"!

Since November 2000, DShield and the Internet Storm Center have been observing and documenting the global “background radiation” of attacks inundating hosts connected to the Internet. This unique observatory was made possible due to the unprecedented cooperation from volunteers worldwide. You will learn how use this data to your advantage to assess attacks hitting your network, and how to contribute your own data to help improve the systems. We will illustrate the effectiveness of the system based on recent attacks against internet connected devices, crypto currency wallets, no-sql servers and other buzzwords that keep security professionals busy.
