We will be using EventBrite for meeting RSVPs.
February meeting speaker is Alex Stamos, topic is Cloud Computing
Security. It is an updated talk of the one he presented at OWASP
meeting and ISSA-LA conference last year.
It will be hosted at AT&T Interactive in Glendale. I will send out directions and (free) parking information. It will be on February 24 (NOT February 17 as usual) because of my travel schedule. I hope this will give a chance for those on east side of downtown to come to OWASP meeting.

Schrenk, author of "Webbots, Spiders, and Screen Scrapers" It will be
on March 17.

- Do VLANs allow for good application security?
Meeting Location Symantec Corporation 900 Corporate Pointe Culver City, CA 90230 Laguna Conference Room
Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are not a new concept, and can help
any organization better control network access. I will present some of
the previous issues identified, what was the root cause, and how these
have been fixed in current technology. In addition we will talk about
how this can help to enhance security in your environment, and what
controls must be in place in order to implement such an environment. We
will also touch on how this can complicate your application environment,
but improve overall security.
I will touch on the controls that need to be reviewed and audited when
working with VMware, VLANs, and web applications, to ensure that these
networks are secure, and what to look for to potentially pass audit
criteria. I will also talk about where and how these controls have been
implemented in order to protect thousands of users while accessing one
of the most hostile networks in the world.
