We went to see New Orleans this summer and were amazed how much the city has come back - hotels, restaurants, Bourbon Street, the waterfront, all of it.

We decided to run a special SANS conference in November, and we hope everyone who has ever enjoyed New Orleans will come back with us. To make it worth your while, Eric Cole himself will be teaching an updated SANS Security Essentials program; Ed Skoudis (the nation's top malware expert) will be teaching the hacker exploits track, Jason Fossen (just an amazing teacher) will be teaching Windows Security. We'll also have Security Leadership training for anyone who needs DoD 8570 management certification, and a phenomenal course on securing wireless.

It's November 14-21. Please join us in saluting New Orleans and enjoying the best possible SANS training in one of America's great cities.Details:AlanTOP OF THE NEWSTHE REST OF THE WEEK'S NEWS.

'The SANS classes have been uniformly excellent. To learn as much through traditional classes would have entailed weeks away from work.' -David Ritch, Department of DefenseSee:.TOP OF THE NEWS DHS Releases Report on February Cyber Storm Exercise (13 September 2006) The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has released a report detailing the findings of its Cyber Storm exercise that took place in February 2006.

It was designed to simulate events requiring the need for coordination between public and private entities in the face of a major cyber attack or natural disaster. The exercise simulated the effects an attack could have on a variety of critical infrastructure elements, and was designed to simulate cascading events. DHS said the exercise provided valuable information about the ability of numerous public and private organizations to work together in the face of disaster. According to the report, the public and private sectors need to improve the coordination of their communication regarding multiple events.-Editor's Note (Schultz): A seven-month delay between the time the exercise was held and the time the report became available seems excessive-perhaps one indicator of what is wrong in cooperation between the private and public sectors.(Northcutt): Nice job on the report, well worth your time to read it then think about your own DR/BCP processes. The conclusion is not surprising, in a major event of any sort, communication is always the problem. In a real event, the telephone system usually fails due to overload.
