tripwire and Alien Vault are all sponsors of all the bsides events so go ahead and support these awesome sponsors so real quick wanted to give everybody an overview of what bsides is for those of you that haven't been to obes sides or are unfamiliar with the process um bides was basically started because of a lot of rejections from popular conferences especially black hat USA 2009 um so it really started kind of in Vegas um if those of you have either been to bides Vegas uh every year last two years now it's been in a a mansion kind of run out by Chris Nickerson um Jack Daniel and that crew they do a fantastic job and it's just gotten

bigger and bigger every year um the big thing about bsize is that it's about you guys it's about the participants um we have our sponsors and we have to have sponsors in order to create this event but at the end of the day it's all about you guys um and it's all about creating that dialogue and talking about what's what's hot and security and also you know talking about the merging threats and all kinds of cool stuff um this is not RSA so we don't have Blinky shiny things to sell you um we're all about the dialogue and all about the participants um bsides are all run differently differently this one is a little more organized um but there's

some that you'll find that are kind of just more of like group discussions throughout the day um and a little bit in more informal so um I definitely you know go to security besides. and check out all the other bsides events and everyone is unique it's really a a great uh great organization so the big thing again like I said Drive open dialogue we want to talk about new ideas um get new speakers out there people that maybe the security Community haven't heard about that's what bsides is all about um so definitely check out security bites.com for more information about the other events so today uh just to talk about some Logistics um lunch is on your own

so we're going to break for lunch around noon hopefully a little bit earlier depending on uh hopefully some speakers don't go over if they do we're going to yank them off the stage that's you Jeff that's right um afternoon start the afternoon talks start at 1:00 exactly hopefully a little bit before so just so you're planning for lunch um the cash bar you'll see in the back that's going to open at 100 p.m. um it may be a little bit earlier we'll see but um uh that's open for you guys um the other thing about bsid is we want you to take a break whenever you want talk to people we have the hallway track out there uh we have Chris climber

and the uh tool group out there that have locks and if you do some lockpicking or anything like that we've got that set up um and just talk to people start conversations talk with the speakers get involved that's what bides is all about um speakers need to keep the 45 minutes we will enforce that because we do have a hard cut off at the end of the day um because that we'll have dual core which is going to be performing live at 5:00 pm so you got to stick around for that that's going to be awesome um and we're going to be uh leaving shortly thereafter um and then lastly the feedback form uh we want your feedback

um how the events run how the speakers are and we're going to provide all that information and correlate it and hopefully uh use it for the next spe sides that we do in Cleveland so uh fill out the feedback form throughout the day leave it at the registration table and that would be great so lastly before we kick into the talks I want to thank um obviously there's a lot of people uh that put this together and coordinated all everything for today uh first of all I want to thank uh Cheryl Stasia Sabrina powers from secure state for uh running the registration and doing a lot of the event coordination uh Robert Walland uh he's our graphic designer he did the
