Dustin:
Please forward this information to any of your IT pros that may want to
participate in the upcoming Tiger Trap cybersecurity event.  I have
added Tome Frazier and Stacy Manning to this email.  If you need more
information or documents, we will be happy to help.  You can find
information on the rules, scenarios, schedules and sign up contacts at
http://www.tigertrap.org .


As a fellow IT Professional, I want to reach out to you and extend an
invitation to participate in the upcoming 2010 Tiger Trap cybersecurity
event.  This FREE cybersecurity learning exercise will be held in Baton
Rouge next spring.  It is an exciting and extremely valuable opportunity
to learn and train with cybersecurity professionals from across the
state.  Tiger Trap is annual Louisiana InfraGard sponsored 'Capture the
Flag' cybersecurity event designed as an information sharing and
hands-on learning opportunity for business, university, state & local
government, law enforcement and defense agencies.  Participants are
vetted by FBI and come from the information security field in such
specialties as cyberwarfare, systems & network management, computer
programming, intrusion & incident management, digital forensics,
penetration testing, IT auditing, & communications security, engage in a
real-world hack and defend exercise.

How does it work?

Each annual event simulates current cyber warfare and cybercrime
scenarios which threaten critical cyber assets, information &
infrastructure security.  The Attack (Red) teams seek to breach target
systems constructed by (White Team) subject matter experts in an effort
to hijack & control critical systems or steal sensitive information
while the defense (Blue) teams attempt to actively defend the network,
determine if breach(s) have occurred and counter-attack the Red Team.
The annual Tiger Trap learning exercises conclude with classroom
instruction by the White Team and round-table discussion on the
successful tools & techniques to use and pitfalls to avoid in real world
computing environments.

The event is designed to foster networking with regional peers on the
latest tools, resources and techniques in Information Security.  We
bring together Technology Professionals from across the state to teach
them how to better protect their computer systems from cyber thieves &
organized crime.  For our 2010 event we have chosen the training theme
to involve a fictional brewery because of the unique mixture of
computing devices native to such an environment
(Windows/Unix/SCADA/etc).  The event will culminate with a half-day
training session, distribution of a Live CD toolbox, professional
networking and a keynote presentation by Billy Austin, CTO of SAINT
Corp.  SAINT and our other sponsors are contributing prizes and
resources, so we expect this event to be both fun and competitive. 

You can find information on the rules, scenarios, schedules and sign up
contacts at http://www.tigertrap.org .

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at
225-229-0925 or you can email us at info at tigertrap.org.

If someone on your team may be interested in participating, please
forward this message to them.

Thank YOU!
