Hi, I am an expatriate (Aussie) working in Sunny Abu Dhabi as Data Security Officer for the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. As we are adding more and more external connections to our networks I am interested in ways to detect and prevent intrusion and interception attempts to our X.25, ISDN, Internet and other links to the outside world. As a practicing security officer and former IT auditor I am also interested in methods to monitor and analyse internal activities for policy infringements, internal "hacks" and performance issues. All the Best with this (Aussie) based list.
