Speaking / Media Bureaus

In order to help showcase open-source and the network security industry in general to the public, Snort is seeking to assist individuals in finding media and speaking opportunities throughout the world. The Snort team will assist in placing individuals with appropriate opportunities within the media (print, online, televised appearances, podcasts, etc.) and speaking slots (keynotes, seminars, user group meetings, etc.), as well as promoting these occurrences on the Snort.org website. These opportunities will include topics such as:

• Network Monitoring
• Forensics
• Snort / Snort-related projects
• Incident Response
• IDS/IPS

Individuals are encouraged to come up with their own topics as well.
