OWSUG User Group Meeting – Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager 2007 SP1

posted on June 17, 2009

 

OWSUG is having a meeting tomorrow night. I would suggest if you are in the Ottawa area, checking it out. DPM is a great product and worth the free pizza. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend. I am in the middle of a moving and a few other things on my plate, so I can’t get the time to go up.  I did make it up for the security presentation earlier in the month, and I will post some photos from it. It might not be until after I move though.

Topic: Windows 7 Security Tidbits & Understanding and Preventing Insider Threat

Description:

Windows 7 Security Tidbits – Windows 7 is coming and the boss is asking you about all those new security features. Perhaps you’ve heard some buzz about AppLocker? What’s this about DirectAccess connecting securely to your corporate network without a VPN?  What’s up with BitlLocker To Go? In this fun and interactive session, Kai Axford, a Microsoft Senior Security Strategist with Microsoft’s Trustworthy Computing team, will demonstrate some of the new security features in Microsoft’s newest desktop operating system. Bring your questions and get the scoop on these upcoming Microsoft security technologies!

Understanding and Preventing Insider Threat – Many analysts have stated that the Number One issue facing corporate customers today is the threat of targeted corporate espionage coming from within the organization. Join Kai Axford, a security strategist from the Microsoft Trustworthy Computing team for an entertaining and engaging session, as he shares real stories from the trenches about the risk this threat presents for both you and your customers. He’ll demo the means by which these attacks occur and discuss the mindset of the attackers. Don’t miss the chance to see how this is done!

EnergizeIT: Install Fest for Windows 7 – Ottawa Event

posted on April 9, 2009

The EnergizeIT Windows 7 Install Fest ran in Ottawa and the session went great. There were 71 people out tonight with laptops to install Windows 7 onto their computers and a few more people from the OWSUG walking about and helping people with problems. Windows 7 was installed to computers as fresh installs, dual boots, upgrades and installs to virtual machines. We used both DVD media, USB sticks and ISO images. There were even two Macs in the crowd installing Windows 7 on their machines. (Who says you can’t make your Mac better?) One was using Boot Camp and one was using Parallels. Rick, Pierre and Christian had several demos, covering different Windows 7 scenarios. We saw how to boot from USB stick and how to enable Bitlocker to go. We learned about shims using the Application Compatibility Toolkit and new features in programs that have been with Windows since the Windows 3.1 days. Having been at the Windows Vista Install Fest in Mississauga a few years back, it was nice to be at the EnergizeIT: Install Fest for Windows 7. It was a great event and an evening well spent. Here are some photos from the event.
