Not too shocking judging from the propaganda coming out of them these days: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/1597490563/ ISS X-Force: Next Generation Threat Analysis and Prevention By Robert Graham, Christopher W. Klaus, David Maynor, Nihal J. Mehta, Christopher Rouland "Over the last seven years, ISS X-Force has discovered more high- risk vulnerabilities than all other research groups and vendors combined ... For the first time ever, follow the X-Force team as they analyze potential vulnerabilities and security solutions for cutting edge technologies and emerging attack methodologies." sounds just like MTV - Real World: X-Force Excuse me as I dry heave

I don't doubt the lessons or real world examples at all (and the
SCADA 101
is decent), but did anyone in the audience question the
"Cyberterrorism
Threat Analysis?" It seems pretty weak, at least based on what is in the slides. A
bunch of
folks from the Middle East download an ISS whitepaper, which
proves there
are threat agents we should care about? How was the talk perceived? Folks running out to buy generators
after seeing
the demo? Fear of taking the Metro home? Just curious, - mdf
