Please find the presentation for the April General Meeting posted at the link below. It was a presentation by Kevin Dunn on “Hardening Your Security Posture”. It was an excellent talk on ways to go beyond patching to harden your various systems using checklists and tools. It also included a live technical demo of some exploits. Enjoy!
