[JD]

The next ALE-NW @ SPSU meeting is being held Thursday, Oct 11, 2012 at 7:30pm in
room J266 of the Atrium (J) building on the SPSU campus.

The feature presentation will be:
     Securing a Debian Box to NISPOM Standard


Abstract:
In order for any computer system to hold classified data on a U.S. Government
system, it must be certified by the Defense Security System (DSS) which requires
the computer system to align to the National Industrial Security Program
Operation Manual (NISPOM) standards. By default, Red Hat Linux is the default
Linux operating system of choice by DSS and others are typically not passed. So
what does one do when a system is based on Debian and needs to meet NISPOM
standards? In this presentation, it will be shown the steps needed to meet
NISPOM standards on a Debian system.
