create Calagator::Event 1250465968 ISSA Portland April 2014 Luncheon - Behavioral Analytics Roll back

description nil → What: Behavioral Analytics - new approach to mitigating insider threats and compressing incident response time to answers. Insiders account for 48% of data breaches and incident response, on average, takes 42 days to complete. Historically, data protection solutions have followed the threat: moving from the perimeter, to the network, to the server, to the application, to the user, and now to the data itself. Current efforts to secure “structured data” held in repositories such as internal file servers, databases and content management systems are very mature and fully deployed, but protecting against privileged access insider threats and understanding the magnitude of breach can be vexing. These methods do not protect changes to the threat of protecting intellectual property - unstructured file based data that is stolen for financial gain or perceived slight by privilege access users and add complexity to incident response programs. During the presentation we will discuss best practices in behavioral analytics applications and security information event management correlations to compress the time to time to answers. Who: Mark Bennett is the VP of Sales at FileTrek: focused on business development, partnerships, client acquisition and customer satisfaction. Mark has over 20 years of experience helping commercial and public sector clients solve complex IT and IT-Security challenges. Aligning new and creative solutions to real-world customer problems is Mark’s specialty. Mark has held management positions with foremost industry companies including Accuvant and Cisco. Most recently Mark was VP of Sales for IDMWORKS, a top ten Identity and Access Management consultancy. From 2008 until 2011, as a member of the executive team, Mark helped Accuvant grow sales from $145 million to over $350 million. Mark graduated in 1981 from University of North Carolina with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Administration.

There will be three short presentations (details below), Q&A, and plenty of time for refreshments and networking. </p> <p>Thanks to Trimble, we have one free SketchUp Pro 2014 license to give away as a door prize. You must RSVP and attend to put your name in the hat, so join MeetUp today (free) and put our kickoff event on your calendar!</p> <p>Doors open at 6pm for refreshments and networking, and will close when presentations begin at 6:30pm. We've booked three talented professionals to share some inspiring work:</p> <p>• Dustin Furseth of <a href="http://skylabarchitecture.com/">Skylab</a> will talk about architectural workflow.</p> <p>• Yelena Prusakova of <a href="http://fatpencilstudio.com/">Fat Pencil Studio</a> will talk about product modeling and animation.</p> <p>• Willie Dean of <a href="http://glumac.com/">Glumac</a> will talk about technical illustration.</p> <p>In addition, we'd like to display <b>your</b> work!  One week before the event, we'll send an invitation to all registered guests to provide 1-3 work samples. These will be displayed via digital projector before and after the presentations.</p> <p>One final note... You don't need to be a professional, or even especially good at using SketchUp to join this Meetup group. If you are on the fence after reading this far, consider this: We are expecting to attract a wide range of skill levels and industry expertise. That diversity is what will make this group strong! </p> <p>The Meetup platform provides options for group members to organize a variety of smaller events. Want to spend an evening discussing the finer points of window components? You can propose it, and host a small meeting... if we can get a critical mass of folks to join the Meetup group. Sure, it takes an extra step to register as a member. But it will be worth it, trust me. Looking forward to meeting you on April 22nd!</p>

The discipline of usability has been growing as well in the past three decades. There have been few but promising overlaps in usability and security which may provide vital tools for managing our digital selves, upholding the principal of privacy, and preserving freedom of speech.

update Calagator::Event 1250465761 Portland Ruby Brigade monthly meeting Roll back

description We'll have pizza, snacks & beer starting at 6pm, so stop by early if you want to have dinner and socialize before the presentations. # PRESENTATIONS at 7pm * <strong>Markus Roberts: Ruby hangman</strong> * <strong>David Celis: <em>Benchmarking</em></strong><br> Covering the basics of benchmarking in Ruby, application to HTTP load testing, and some gotchas along the way. * <strong><a href="http://railsconf.com/program#sessions">Jason Clark: <em>Make an Event of It!</em> </a></strong><br> Are your controllers jumbled with seemingly unrelated steps? Does testing any bit of application logic require fixtures and setup helpers a mile long?<br> Evented patterns create a vocabulary of what happens in your system, and a way to separate code triggering events from code that responds to them. That helps tame the sprawl by setting clean boundaries, simplifying tests, and keeping your dependencies isolated.<br> This talk reveals the power of events and what's already in Rails to help you. * <strong><a href="http://railsconf.com/program#sessions">Chuck Lauer Vose: <em>Building kick-ass internal education programs (for large and small budgets)</em> </a></strong><br> There are not enough senior programmers in the world to satisfy the needs of our organizations; but educating your own developers is crazy expensive and hard, right?<br> It turns out there lots of effective, low-cost, low commitment ways to inject education into your organization, I'll show you some of the low commitment ways to engage your peers, how to evaluate your needs, how to measure your progress, and how to plan for future ed needs. * <strong>Sam Livingston-Gray: <em>Cognitive Shortcuts: Models, Visualizations, Metaphors, and Other Lies</em> </strong><br> Experienced developers tend to build up a library of creative problem-solving tools: rubber ducks, code smells, anthropomorphizing code, &c.<br> These tools map abstract problems into forms our brains are good at solving. But our brains are also good at lying to us.<br> We'll talk about some of these tools, when to use them (or not), and how their biases can lead us astray.<br> “A change in perspective is worth 80 IQ points.” -Alan Kay<br> New developers very welcome: we don't teach this in school! After presentations we'll have more socializing time. # Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer, pizza & snacks this month! # ARRIVING BY BIKE? Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 28th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 28th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking. <em>ABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade, also known as pdxruby and pdx.rb, is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland, Oregon area. The group welcomes all programmers interested in the language and its implementations, tools, libraries and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails. The group has been meeting since August 2002 for presentations, demos and discussions. Every month 35-75 people come together to share their knowledge, projects and enthusiasm for Ruby.

description nil → And we're back! Posting this mostly as a save-the-date, but we're already working on the next PDX Ember Meetup :) RSVPs will go out ~2 weeks before the event. The basic formula: good people, good food, good talks. We'll generally have two talks, usually at different skill levels, some break and networking time, and other topically relevant things as they come up. If you or someone you know would like to take a stab at presenting (either a full talk slot, or even a short lightning talk), please get in touch. We'd love to have you! Similarly, if you or your company would be up for sponsoring, we can use all the help we can get (especially if we want to keep up the good-food trend!). Please reach out to discuss.

update Calagator::Event 1250465945 RefreshPDX - Lessons from the Battlefield: Working on the Web Roll back

description After four years of agency employment and four years of freelancing as a web designer and developer, Kristin has learned a lot of lessons, mostly the hard way. She gets asked a lot of questions. How do you get started making websites? How do you get work as a freelancer? How did you last 4 years working at home in your PJs? Why did you quit freelancing and go back to employment, weren't you living the dream? Kristin will share all her battlefield-approved tips for surviving life as a contractor, finding work with an agency, and how to become rich and famous in 5 easy steps. Our Presenter, Kristin Wille Kristin is a web developer at Daylight Studio in Southeast Portland, where she hacks away at front end code and dabbles in PHP. She also co-hosts the PushPull Podcast, a semi-wildly popular show about working in the web industry. When she’s not staring at computers or talking about them, you’ll find her on her mountain bike and enjoying the Northwest outdoors with her two dogs.
