John Roese, the co-author of the proposed new IEEE 802.1x standard for network security, is to visit SA. He will be the keynote speaker at the E-Net Africa 2001 networking technologies conference and exhibition in Johannesburg on 26, 27 and 28 August 2001.
E-Net Africa 2001 is presented by Enterasys Networks in association with its alliance partner in SA, Duxbury Networking.
Roese, a technical visionary, is expected to give delegates to the conference an insight into the features of the new standard and its holistic approach to enterprise-wide security.
His message will centre on the need to protect the entire networking infrastructure, including the intranet, intranet/extranet interface and extranet.
His architectural approach to network security will be examined as will its ability to monitor, control or block access to the network resources to fully maintain the integrity of the network.
Roese will also address the five key areas of focus for enterprise-wide security:
* Prevention - everything possible is done to discourage attacks.
* Detection - Monitor communications and detect abuses with minimal `time to find`.
* Damage Assessment - Automatically review situation and report severity.
* Response - Forensic quality information for identification.
* Correction - Resolve attacks in shortest possible time.
