[ale] [ANNC] ALE CENTRAL MTG. for Thurs, Oct 18, 7:30pm

[Aaron Ruscetta]

I was able to attend last Thursday's ALE-NW meeting and
the featured presenter agreed to reprise his presentation
at this month's ALE Central meeting.  Thanks, Jonathan!

I know a few of you expressed interest in the topic but
weren't able to attend, so we'll hope this offering is more
convenient to your schedule and location.
===========================

The ALE CENTRAL meeting for Thursday, Oct. 18th,
2012 at 7:30pm in Emory Gambrel Hall room 1C will be
a reprise of last weeks ALE-NW presentation:

** 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.
