We will start at our usual time of 5:30pm.  Our speaker this month is Allen Surface and his subject will be Security Architecture: Then and Now.  Allen will walk us through how Security Architectures have changed over the years, where they are headed and how we need to plan for these changes.  Allen is a founding member of RISE and has worked for the past eight years as a solutions architect with SyCom Technologies.  He is currently focused on designing network and security solutions for various customers in both medium and large scale networks.  Prior to moving into his Security Architect role Allen was responsible for implementing hardware solutions such as Intrusion Prevention Systems, Firewalls, and DMVPNs.   What this says is that Allen is one of us!  He is a down in the trenches kind of guy that is willing to share his experiences with us.  Come on out and support one of own and hear his take on where we are all headed as IT Security Professionals.
