Our presenter, Bob Radvanovsky has a long history with systems development and engineering. Here is a little more about Bob's background. Bob Radvanovsky has a background in systems development and engineering, with recent endeavors in areas of security, specifically in penetration testing & analysis, risk assessments (policy and site assessment), policy management (documentation and change control), and secured infrastructure (intrusion detection systems [IDS], firewalls, proxy servers, et. al). Bob's passion for computer technology development has spawned a complete data center at his home, as well as varied presentations on UNIX (or LINUX) operating system environments, various security tools for LINUX, and open forum discussions specific to home environment securification.
