About This Video
Good security monitoring is an extension of good basic monitoring. From a one-man sysadmin shop to a large corporation with a dedicated security team that has 24/7 staff, one needs to know what is happening on the network. From HTTP 500 error messages, to network switches being overloaded because of a virus outbreak, to IPS alerts, to syslog events that indicate an intrusion, Nagios can be the solution that lets you know when a security event has occurred. Using passive checks, SNMP traps, and a bit of programming, this talk will show you how to leverage Nagios as a security monitoring tool.
