That's what my boss said about going to training. You get more out of face to face interactions. Thanks, Teresa -----Original Message----- From: Ken Connelly [mailto:Ken.Connelly () UNI EDU] Sent: Monday, June 18, 2007 2:30 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: Re: [SECURITY] Training advice Teresa - The Educause Security Professionals Conference is a low-cost event that lasts1.5 to 3.0 days, depending upon whether you register for pre- or post-conference events. This year's event is over, but next year's event is in early May in Arlington, VA. See http://www.educause.edu/SEC07 for this year's program and costs to give you an idea of what it's all about. Most presentations are lead by peers and tend to deal with projects that can be done without a lot of financial support. I understand your thoughts about online courses to avoid spending training money on travel, but the interaction and face-to-face time with colleagues at this event is a very worthwhile piece of the puzzle. -ken Vanderbilt, Teresa wrote:
I recently stepped into the title of Security Manager. We're a small school and this is a new position for us. I'd only maintained the servers, switches and firewalls before. I have no one to mentor me and
very little budget for training. I can spend approximately $3-5K on formal training this year. I was thinking of a good online class so all the money goes toward training rather than hotels and travel. Until now, everything I've learned has been mostly on my own; although
I recently attended Pentration Testing Training. What other training, both formal and informal, would benefit me and my school the most? I've been thinking of CCNA and I would like to learn how to use Snort since it's free. Will CCNA be beneficial or should I buy a good beginners book on Snort. Am I way off the mark for what I need to study? I need to get up to speed quickly and can't afford to guess at what I need. Please help. Thanks in advance, Teresa Vanderbilt University of the Ozarks
