First TASK event of the year is this week!  We look forward to seeing you there.

Note the second topic and speaker has been updated since our first
reminder email.

Talk 1: Who's watching the gatekeeper?

What is the best way to monitor the activities of your privileged
users (system administrators!)? This evenings discussion will cover:

- How to address the administrative control audit and investigation challenge
- How to incorporate both host data and network data for complete
insight and visibility into the matter
- How to leverage SIEM Technology to supplement the effort
- Practical techniques to secure your network

Speaker: Tom Wong, Engineer at AccessData. Prior to joining
Accessdata, Tom was a Senior Security Engineer for Microsoft, where he
led the Network Security Monitoring and Response team.  Tom has over
15 years of Information Technology Experience in the software
industry.


Talk 2:  Data Recovery

ARE YOU A HERO OR A VILLAN?
ARE YOU A PROFESSIONAL OR A RUSSIAN ROULETTE PLAYER?
ARE YOU A CAUSE OF DATA LOSS OR A SOLUTION PROVIDER?

The number one cause of data loss is hardware failure. The number two
reason is human error and much, if not most of it is caused or
compounded by technicians.

This presentation is meant to inform you of many of the reasons for
data loss, how to minimize the risk of loss and how to maximize the
chance of a successful, cost-effective recovery when losses do occur.

You will be presented with information that every professional
computer technician should know; but has never been taught.

Speaker: R. Douglas Coughey, President, Recovery Force Inc.  Doug is a
member of the High Tech Crime Investigation Association, an associate
member of the Ontario Council of Private Investigators and was a
participant of the 2003 & 2007 Annual Toronto Fraud Forum co-hosted by
the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (Toronto Chapter) and the
Canadian Association of Investigation Units (Trillium Chapter).
