WHAT:   Anomaly Detection and Internal Security

WHO:    Dr. Jose Nazario, worm expert and researcher, Arbor Networks

Dr. Nazario is a worm researcher whose interests include large-scale
Internet trends such as reachability and topology measurement,
Internet events such as DDoS attacks and worms, source code analysis
methods, and data mining. Jose is the author of Defense and Detection
Strategies against Internet Worms. He routinely writes and speaks on
Internet security in forums that include NANOG, USENIX Security,
BlackHat, CanSecWest and SANS. Dr. Nazario holds a Ph.D. in
biochemistry from Case Western Reserve University.

WHEN:   Tuesday, May 3, 2005
        3:00 p.m. EDT

WHERE:  Internet2 is a consortium being led by 207 universities
        working in partnership with industry and government to develop
        and deploy advanced network applications and technologies,
        accelerating the creation of tomorrow's Internet. The Spring
        Internet2 Member Meeting brings together the leaders in
        advanced networking to collaborate on and aggressively deliver
        on the promise of the next-generation Internet.

WHY:

    --  Institutions have spent millions of dollars to shore up the
        perimeter of their networks with firewalls, intrusion
        detection, and other defenses. The real threat for most
        networks exists on the inside - where corporate assets lie
        dangerously unprotected, vulnerable to insider misuse, worm
        outbreaks, and availability outages.

    --  The most effective method is to construct a network-wide view
        of the entire network with auto-learning host behaviors to
        determine which hosts communicate with each other, and how.
        Using a network-wide perspective and relational modeling,
        institutions can:

        --  Detect and mitigate worms and other zero-day threats

        --  Protect against network misuse

        --  Provide comprehensive reporting to simplify compliance

        --  Segment and harden the internal network against future
            threats

        --  More effectively address growing regulatory compliance
            initiatives (such as HIPAA)
