Why should I attend the Security Onion Conference?

We are very excited to have Richard Bejtlich (@taosecurity) as our Keynote Speaker! We will also have several other prominent members of the community giving talks about tools and techniques (see full speaker lineup below). This is your chance to meet with other members of the community, talk about what works and what doesn't, and take your skills to the next level. We'll also be giving away a Dual-Comm tap, copies of "The Practice of Network Security Monitoring" and "Applied Network Security Monitoring", and a few Raspberry Pi units! Please keep in mind that seating is limited, so reserve your seat today!
