SecDSM, a monthly meetup providing the opportunity to network with other InfoSec pros and listen to short tech talks presented by your fellow members (or give a presentation yourself!) while enjoying some beer/drinks/food. No sales pitches. The idea is to provide you actionable knowledge for you to take back to your $dayjob while building a top tier InfoSec community in the Des Moines area. If you have the desire to learn about real world InfoSec scenarios - get out of your comfort zone - and join us in a relaxed vendor neutral environment. No registration is required.
Schedule
We meet monthly, on the 1st Thursday starting at 6pm at Foundry Distilling Company in West Des Moines.

Jared Brees SSH Security7:10 PM
Ideas, tactics, and recommendations surrounding use, deployment, and hardening of SSH. There are lots of things you can do that might be seen as "esoteric" if you haven't done them before, but can be added up to a relatively "safe" publicly-accessible SSH server.<br>Based on a talk presented at CIALUG, this talk for SecDSM has been modified to include more Windows and macOS compatibility notes, as well as some "in-between" compromises for corporate networks that may need more interoperability with older systems.
Jared is a geek... audio/video and InfoSec professional, and adjunct professor.
