Security Onion: One Step Closer to a Safer Network with Almost no Budget
- Chris Mohan
- Thursday, December 13th, 7:15pm - 8:15pm
This talk isn't how to set up Security Onion, as that is remarkably easy; it's how to show real value investing in using it to strengthen your company's security posture. Small to medium size enterprise typically have limited funds to spend on security so network administrators become deputized as the Security Administrator on top of their half dozen other roles. This talk will take you through how I built a network security monitoring (NSM) solution using Security Onion - a free open source security distro -with a tiny budget and provided results to make management see value in a security solution beyond just having AV. I'll take you through some of the trials and tribulations of putting this NSM in place in a real environment to get one step closer to a more secure environment while still coping with everything else your supposed to be doing on top of this.
