The Washington, DC Chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) started offering Professional Development Seminars in 1968. Traditionally, these seminars have presented high-quality lectures and hands-on learning on topics of current interest to the local IT community for a relatively low cost. The proceeds go to DC ACM, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing opportunities for meaningful connections between the area’s academics, professionals, and policymakers in the computer science and information technology fields.
Instructor: Mr. Shinn is the Managing Partner for the Chantilly-based Prometheus Group. He has a distinguished Information Security background in both the public and private sectors, and is a regular information security columnist and book author.

* Overview of intrusion detection systems/intrusion prevention systems (IDS/IPS)
