September 15, 2015, meetup wrap-up - frameworks for securing things

We had an excellent meeting this month. About 14 people showed up and participated. We had a lot to talk about with BSides Augusta happening Saturday, the CTF planning for next month, and the usual infosec news. After that, Ralph Collum gave us an excellent talk on security frameworks and how to choose the best one. We finished with some videos from J4vv4d.

Next months meetup will be slightly different. We're planning to do two days. We'll meet our usual Tuesday, October 13, 2015, but we're also going to meet the following Saturday, October 17, 2015, for some capture the flag (CTF) fun. Details to come soon.

September 15, 2015, meetup agenda - Security Frameworks

It's looking like the September meetup is going to be jam-packed month for the ColaSec user group. We will wrap-up BSides Augusta, talk about the October CTF, and have a presentation on security frameworks.

BSides Augusta is this Saturday, September 12, 2015, in Augusta Georgia. It is one of the best well run BSides events out there and I highly recommend the event. Did I mention I'll be speaking at the event? The event is sold out, but has a waiting list. They've recently released some tickets, so who knows.

We're planning a CTF event for October. We will have a Tuesday primer meetup followed up by a CTF competition on the following Saturday. If you would like to participate fill out this Google survey and let us know what weekend in October works best for you: http://goo.gl/forms/ULuA1Jt3im

Finally, we're planning on having a presentation on security frameworks for this months meetup. If you have to decide on a framework for your organization, which one is the best one for your organization?
