This Thurs, Sept. 28th (Silicon Valley) Trusted Solaris, when hardening up Solaris matters!

This Thursday, Sept. 28, 2006, we're glad to have a couple nice presentations
for folks.

First off, we'll be having a short presentation on the Sun Studio tools. Find
out what new features have been added recentely, what new features are being
worked on, and how you can use Sun Studio to create programs that run on
Linux as well as Solaris. This enables our community to develop applications
that will compile for either Solaris x64, Solaris SPARC, and Linux. Luan Yin,
one of the leads from the tools group will be at SVOSUG to share this
information with you.

The main presentation will feature Glenn Faden giving you the nuts and bolts
on Trusted Solaris. How many folks know that Sun has putback trusted
extentions to OpenSolaris? Did you know those changes are coming to S10 via
the update channel (Glenn should have more info on that). To some this might
not seem very important, but consider that knowing the source our data is
coming from, who sent it, and where that data has been routed might be more
valuable to you than you might suspect as we move forward in the future. This
is truely technology that makes you wonder how security will be on our
computers in the future. Knowing that people can access your computer from
anywhere in the world once connected can certainly fuel the thought process
on keeping unwanted traffic off of them.

OpenSolaris has had role based access included with it for quite some time,
and this lends to helping create a trusted environment. Glenn will be able to
explain to you how labels and other security features can be used in a full
trusted environment.

Hear it straight from the folks that work in Sun's security department within
Solaris engineering, and learn how these ideas will play a big role in the
future of computing.

Will this be recorded and available later? It looks very interesting, but I don't much fancy the idea of having to be at the office at 4:30am to listen in :)

Is there a URL associated with the Conference number (809-64-14) to see the presentation online when we dial-in?

I would like to see this too, if there's any way for an audio+video recording to be done and posted please do so.
