In two weeks I’ll be hosting two events: one near the NSA at the Courtyard Fort Meade on the 27th, and the second a few miles from the CIA at the Hilton Mclean Tyson Corner. Both will start at 4 PM, have a considerably strong Network Forensics agenda, and then wrap up by 7 PM. Both events are identical, they’re free to attend, and we’ll be providing beer, wine & soda along with appetizers.

Below is the current agenda, but it’s still somewhat fluid at this point as it’s the first NGN we’re doing that is focused on Network Forensics, and is setup for the Intelligence Community. The dozen or so prior NGNs, and another later that week have been centered on the Financial Trading market where our leadership in low latency is well known. Here is the current agenda:

• 3:30 – 4:00  Registration, drinks and snacks
• 4:00 – 4:05  Welcome & Introductions – Paul Bravo, Solarflare VP US/OEM Sales
• 4:05 – 4:35  Keynote Speaker – David Riddoch, Founder, Solarflare
• 4:35 – 4:50  Dell – Cameron Chehreh, CTO Federal
• 4:50 – 5:35  Panel: Deep Packet Inspection (Snort, Suricata & Bro)
• 5:35 – 5:45  Reservoir Labs – Alison Ryan, VP Business Development
• 5:45 – 6:15  Advances in Capture – Ron Miller, Director Technical Marketing, Solarflare
• 6:15 – 6:45  Open Q&A of all speakers
• 6:45 – 7:30  Reception & Demonstrations

I’ll moderate the panel on Deep Packet Inspection which will include:  Eileen Donnelly, US Government, Erik Mogus Director Sales Engineering for Reservoir Labs, and someone to be named shortly. The purpose of the panel is to compare and contrast the different approaches to packet inspection so someone familiar with one can see different perspectives on the other two.  The audience will also be encouraged to ask questions of the panelists.
