\nThe feature presentation for our ALE Central Meeting
\nat 7:30pm on Thursday, February 17th, 2011 will be: <\/p>\n

“Networking & Network Security Basics”<\/font>
\n with Michael Trausch <\/strong><\/p>\n

Synopsis:
\n– Computer networks are something that we see simply everywhere
\nnow. From the basic corner store to large corporate buildings, in most
\nhomes and nearly all businesses, there are networks, both wired and
\nwireless. Networking technology continues to evolve as well, so
\nnetworking devices have gotten smaller and less expensive, while
\nimplementing networks has become easier and more automated.
\nThe big downside of this ubiquity and automation is that our networks
\nhave become harder to secure, particularly when they carry important
\ndata (for all values of “important” that may apply).<\/p>\n

– Security considerations exist throughout the network and at every
\nlevel of the technology, from the network edge(s), the centralized
\ngateways, and the various nodes (computer systems, embedded
\ndevices, or otherwise), throughout the software applications and
\non down to the most vulnerable component, the human users.
\nThis presentation will touch on aspects of all of these.<\/p>\n

Bio:
\nMichael B. Trausch (a.k.a. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the genius who locked his keys in his car
\nat the January meeting\u00e2\u20ac\u009d) is an independent consultant and developer
\nperforming all manner of IT services using free software, including
\nnetwork systems administration and programming (in many different
\nand often disliked languages). He works from home (when everything
\nis going well…) and devotes much of his time to parenting his five
\nyear old son, Benjamin. He is an advocate for free software, public
\neducation, and freedom in general, accepting the responsibilities that

\ndrinks way too much coffee. ;-)
