You are invited to a web briefing unveiling the ...

...second most important security announcement about Cisco routers (so far)
this year!

Please forward this invitation to each of your network administrators
who have responsibility for managing Cisco routers.

Date:  February 20, 2002
Time: 1 PM EST (1800 UTC)

If you use Cisco Routers in your company, you won't want to miss this
briefing.

SANS and the Center for Internet Security bring you George Jones and
the Router Audit Tool and Benchmark.  The Router Audit Tool checks
security settings in the configurations of your Cisco IOS routers.  It
reports the problems it finds and gives each router an overall score.
It also points you to the precise methods of fixing the problems. In
other words it plays the role of a top flight router security expert.

The Benchmark is based on the US National Security Agency Router
Security Configuration Guide, and provides the basis for the "best
practice" configuration rules and defines a minimum security baseline
for all routers running IOS 11 or 12.

All who register in advance will get access to George's slides and will
receive a private password to get into the web broadcast. Time for
questions will also be included.

Go to http://sans.digisle.tv/audiocast_022002/brief.htm to register for
this special event.

PS If you haven't tried the free SNMP self-testing tool to learn which
systems may be running SNMP -- and therefore are subject to the critical
vulnerability announced this week, get a description and instructions
on downloading a copy by emailing snmptool em sans.org.  It works on
Windows but tests all kinds of devices. The current version is limited
to 10,000 systems per scan.
