NDSU and EduTech do a security conference in the fall. The Web site is www.ndsu.edu/itsecurity We do a variety of topics for both administrative, technical, and education. Attendees participate from a regional area. And, North Dakota is a warm and friendly state. :-) Theresa Semmens, CISA NDSU IT Security Officer PO Box 5164 North Dakota State University Fargo, ND Phone: 701-231-5870 FAX: 701-231-8541 Theresa.Semmens () ndsu edu "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."

It would have be a natural event for me to attend. BTW, I have been interested in finding out who locally does education security. I know of Teresa Soria at Sac State. Are there others we could be networking with?

For example, every two years, UC Davis hosts a 2.5 day security training conference for technical administrators (see http://itsecuritysymposium.ucdavis.edu/). This is a break-even event, exclusive of staff time. The event this year hosts 50 security-related instructional labs and lectures and a registrant fee of $85. Bob Robert A.

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
