Jamie Reid's Toronto based security consulting practice is the culmination of a decade long career in the IT security
field. His practice focuses on the security of emerging technologies and providing advice, research, and development
services to firms with advanced security products and services.
His professional career has included time with the Information Protection Centre for the Government of Ontario, Guardent,
and management of the vulnerability reserach team at nCircle, along with Unix systems, backbone operations and security

Lessons and Evidence for the Real World from Network intrusion Detection and Computer Security Abstract:
Analogies from network security for the real world. The Internet
has provided us with a giant lab in which to test different approaches
to security. From behavioral profiling, to traffic analysis, systems
and statistical analysis, to gamesmanship, each of these has had
advantages and limitations that might also apply in the real world.
Mr. Reid will describe the problems that computer security technologies
are solving, the approaches taken so far, the limitations in their
approaches, and open questions about how well they work. Topics covered
will include Intrusion Detection and Prevention systems, Dealing with
polymorphism in attacks, Honeynets, Vulnerability Management, and Advanced
Attack Tools and techniques, what we are going to do about them, and how
some of the problems we've encountered on the network might be showing
up in the real world. The purpose of this talk to provide some common
ground for technologists and policy makers, who may be solving the same
problems, in only slightly different forms."
