Bivio Networks' CEO To Speak At LinuxWorld Conference & Expo in San Francisco

Posted on: Tuesday, 8 August 2006, 21:00 CDT

Bivio Networks: WHO: Elan Amir, president and CEO for Bivio Networks(R), the leader in high-performance network appliance platforms for delivery of deep packet processing applications, will present a session titled "Preparing for Emerging Threats in the Network: A New Approach in the Networking Platform" at the LinuxWorld Conference & Expo in San Francisco. Dr. Amir's session will take place on Thursday, August 17, 2006 from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Moscone Center in Room 308, Session S9. WHAT: During Thursday's session on emerging networking threats, Amir will discuss how networking today has evolved from a simple switching and routing medium, requiring little processing beyond the packet header, to a policy enforcement engine requiring deep-packet inspection and real-time content processing. He will highlight how today's network has been transformed to protect against continually emerging threats, as well as for the delivery of new services. Amir will discuss how open source, and Linux in particular, is causing a fundamental technology shift in networking and as a result, has created the inevitable combination of unique opportunity and challenges. As part of this session, Amir will further define the characteristics of today's Software-Driven Network in relation to security application development, including Linux's role in this type of network; explore the requirements for powering processing-intensive networking applications; and finally, present how vendors can bring to market optimal products quickly and affordably.
