Presentations: This symposium will feature several intriguing and educational presentations by experts in the area of Open Source Security. Speakers will explore specific skills that security practitioners can take away in terms of using open source tools to achieve security, as well as provide an overview of where open source tools fit in with the commercial products in the marketplace.
