Young IT Professionals of Northeast Ohio
Posted by: Tom
There is a new group forming in Northeast Ohio for IT professionals focused on the younger generation and is an opportunity to network and learn from one another. The first meeting is at the Great Lakes Brewing Company on December 10th @ 6pm (downstairs in the beer cellar). Cost is $15 to help with appetizers but is open bar! Read: Great Lakes has Christmas Ale on tap!
If you plan on attending please RSVP to Devon Campbell (dcampbell2 [aT] mcpc.com).
This event should be a great way to network and meet others in the area! Hope to see some of you locals there!

New Security Podcast: Security Justice
Posted by: Tom
After several months of work the team of Matt, Dave, Tyler, and myself finally went live with our first podcast called Security Justice a few days ago. Let me tell you...getting a podcast up and running was no easy task but it finally paid off. Special thanks to Dave for getting the mixer, microphones, software and related technology to record the podcast. Also thanks to Dual Core for letting us use their music in our podcast!
We just released episodes 1 and 2 the other day along with the web site. Our podcast has a pretty cool local feel to it. We record live right after the Northeast Ohio Information Security Forum at Mavis Winkle's Irish Pub in Independence, Ohio near Cleveland. We have a live audience which allows for some pretty unique interactions as well as comments and input directly from the crowd of fellow security geeks. :-) We interview the presenters from the Northeast Ohio Information Security Forum (takes place the 3rd Wednesday of every month) and discuss recent hot security topics. In addition, we plan on having "special edition" podcasts which will consist of interviews with well known security researches and "security celebrities". We have one that will be released here in a day or two.
Anyway, check us out! Let us know of any feedback that you have either here or via the Security Justice web site. Thanks for listening and for supporting the local Cleveland security community!
You can also follow Security Justice on Twitter or FriendFeed!
The Cleveland Security Community

If you are in the Cleveland, Ohio area and a security professional be sure to check out the other security bloggers that are located in our area:
Security Second Thoughts
The Security Shoggoth
Securi-D
Even if you are not from Cleveland, check them out!
Matt and I are also on Twitter. Here is Matt's profile, and mine. Feel free to umm..tweet us!
If you are located in Cleveland you should hopefully know we have a growing security community...currently focused around a few local groups which meet on a regular basis. Check out these groups and get involved!
NEO Information Security Forum
The Northeast Ohio Information Security Forum is a professional organization for people interested in information security. Members are in the information security, networking, system administration/engineering, and IT industry who are either involved in or interested in the information security field. The composition of the membership range from professionals working in the public sector (at colleges, universities, government agencies) to private industry (banks, manufacturing, tech, services) to college students. The group comes together monthly to discuss issues, watch presentations from members and speakers from outside of the group, and demos of various tools and techniques in the information security arena.
InfraGard Northern Ohio Chapter
InfraGard is a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) program that began in the Cleveland Field Office in 1996. It was a local effort to gain support from the information technology industry and academia for the FBI’s investigative efforts in the cyber arena. The program expanded to other FBI Field Offices, and in 1998 the FBI assigned national program responsibility for InfraGard to the former National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) and to the Cyber Division in 2003. InfraGard and the FBI have developed a relationship of trust and credibility in the exchange of information concerning various terrorism, intelligence, criminal, and security matters.
NOITR
The Northern Ohio Information Technology Roundtable provides a forum for the exchange of information covering a broad and diverse range of Information Technology (IT) topics. NOITR members constitute a diverse cross-section of manufacturing and critical infrastructure industries, government agencies, academic institutions, and enforcement bureaus within Northern Ohio.
Cleveland is also host for two security related conferences:
NEO Information Security Summit
Notacon (not really a "security" conference but has security themes and topics, yet very innovative and getting lots of national attention)
There will be an announcement about another web site in the works that will be promoting the Cleveland Security Bloggers as well as a Cleveland Security Podcast in the works...yes, I said it..a podcast! Trust us, this won't be your typical security podcast either. Stay tuned for these announcements in the next few weeks!
