TITLE:    The Changing Internet Ecology: Confronting Security and
          Operational Challenges by Mining Network Data

WHO:      Dr. Farnam Jahanian, co-founder and chairman of the board,
          Arbor Networks

WHEN:     Friday, August 26, 2005
          9 a.m. EDT

WHERE:    Philadelphia, PA; SIGCOMM 2005, August 22-26;
          ACM SIGCOMM 2005 is the annual conference of the Special
          Interest Group on Data Communication (SIGCOMM), a vital
          special interest group of the Association for
          Computing Machinery (ACM).

WHY:      The Internet is increasingly susceptible to a broad spectrum
          of security threats and operational challenges such as
          distributed denial of service attacks, zero-day worms,
          phishing scams, and route hijacking. These threats occur at
          a time when the Internet continues to evolve with
          increasingly diverse topology, policies and applications.
          In order to ensure the continued security and availability
          of the Internet, there is a pressing need for
          instrumentation, measurement, correlation and mining of
          disparate data sources to aid in identifying, characterizing
          and mitigating these challenges. This presentation discusses
          the changing Internet ecology and the increasing complexity
          confronting enterprise and service provider networks. This
          session explores the range of host- and network-based data
          sets available to practitioners and researchers, and
          highlights case studies that illustrate how data mining
          techniques can be highly effective for network management
          and security operations.
