  Katrina: Red Cross needs network security tech volunteers
  Snip from an advisory from the SANS Internet Storm Center:
[Needed:] technically savvy volunteers who can help in two ways - at
the shelters in implementing Windows and Cisco systems for the
volunteers and people living there, and at Red Cross headquarters in
the Washington DC area to improve the implementation of security
software tools that have been implemented but are not fully
exploited. Here's how you can help.

1. People who live near the shelters (or who could get there and who
have family/friends with whom you could stay), and who have lots of
experience deploying Windows XP and/or Cisco systems, please register
your willingness to help at this link. The Red Cross will contact you
directly.

2. People in the Washington DC area (or who could get here quickly)
and would volunteer to help, and who have substantial experience with
any of the following:

  -- tuning Cisco IDS
  -- tuning NetIQ Manager
  -- tuning McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator

please do two things:

a. register online, and b. send me an email at [paller at sans.org]
telling me which tool you know well and how available and close you
are so I can set up a contact for you.

SANS is also donating $100,000 to the Red Cross, and we learned today
that at least one leading security vendor, TippingPoint, has offered
to give the Red Cross the equipment they need to protect their
networks - without asking for compensation.

If you know of people or companies in the IT or security field who
are trying to make a difference in the recovery effort, please let us
know what you or they are doing [Email paller at sans.org].
