perfSECURITY: The Intersection of perfSONAR and InfoSec
- Mark Feit (Internet2)
1:10 PM - 1:30 PM
perfSONAR is best known as a tool for measuring network performance, and as such doesn't often cross paths with the information security community. Improvements made over the last couple of years have given it the ability to do more than it ever has, and the development team is starting to expand its reach into other areas. This session will provide a brief introduction to perfSONAR, discuss how data produced by InfoSec organizations can help secure perfSONAR installations and cover the potential for perfSONAR's use as a platform for deploying security tools.
