November 16, 2012 Consider
helping Students at Perry Hall High School on their Senior Interview Day
Senior
Interview
Day is one
of the ways
we bring
real world
relevance to
education,
and is
always one
of our most
popular
in-school
events. Our
students
spend weeks
preparing
and, by
interviewing
with one of
the dozens
of helpful
volunteers
representing
every
imaginable
field of
industry,
gain
valuable
insight into
the
interview
process and
the working
world.
Insight we
simply can’t
replicate in
any other
way. Insight
we can’t
replicate
without the
help of
volunteers.
By
participating
this year
you will be
matched up
with
students
interested
in your
field of
expertise or
in pursuing
a position
similar to
yours. You
may ask them
questions of
your own or
use sample
questions we
will
provide.
Your
evaluation
of their
responses,
resume, and
poise will
be used both
as a grade
and as
useful
feedback for
the students
to reflect
on and grow
from.
If you’re
interested
in
participating
and have
some time
available on
November 16th,
please
follow this
link to fill
out the
online
participation
form:

Thank you
for your
consideration
and please
don’t
hesitate to
contact me
at
bschiffer@bcps.org
or at

with any
questions or
concerns.

June 2012 Annual joint meeting of the Baltimore
and Washington AITP Chapters
Thursday
June 21, 2012
from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Program:
Technology Based Learning Is growing;
what will the future bring?
We are on the threshold of a
vast change in providing education. The pedagogical model of
past centuries is being overtaken by new methods of
learning. Information technology (IT) is what makes all this
possible. But what effect will IT have on the future of
education in our schools? What will be the role of the
teacher? We have tele-commuting; will we also have tele-learning?
Will each student have an individual program of learning
specifically designed for him or her? These questions and
others will be addressed by our speaker, Dr Judy Flood, who
will describe where education is now, where it is going and
the implications of these changes.
We are sure you will find this to be one of the most

AITP chapter was revitalized this past academic school year
through the emergence of interested students who came
together, elected officers, and formed a functioning
executive board. Its’ members have worked to make an impact
on the campus of Morgan State University and establish the
chapter as one of the premier organizations on campus. One
of the most important initiatives the chapter undertook last
year was preparing for and participating in the AITP
National Collegiate Conference, specifically in the Graphic
Communications and Database Design contests. This year, the
members of the MSU Chapter plan to achieve the goals of
increasing its club membership,
increasing participation in the AITP National Competition,

to accomplish these goals with the involvement and support
of the Baltimore AITP chapter.

Topic Details:
The presentation will begin with a brief venture through the
corridor of time, stopping at key points along the way to
discuss the ramifications of various attacks, exploits and
vulnerabilities and how they came to affect our culture and
the computer industry of today. Then we’ll proceed into the
near future touching on some areas presently under
exploitation and how that will impact all of us both at work
and play. At each point, we’ll discuss the how and why of
each event and how some events could have been prevented
while others were inevitable.
Cyber Security has evolved as the systems being exploited
evolved while perpetrators became more sophisticated, tools
and attacks more prevalent and the transition from
traditional areas of simple computer network probes and
security to more diverse areas like: RFID tags, phones and
automobiles. If it is a “system”, it can be and probably
has been exploited.
About our Presenter:
Dr Brian K. Elza grew up in Baltimore MD, and promptly set
about moving west-ward as soon as possible. He received his
Bachelor's in Physics and Astronomy from Northwestern
University at Evanston, Ill in '83, a Masters in Theoretical
Atomic and Molecular Physics in '87, and a Doctorate in
Computational Physics in '91 from the University of Oklahoma
at Norman, OK and interned at Los Alamos National Laboratory
in New Mexico. He successfully made it to the West Coast in
'91 as a Staff Scientist at Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory for the Defense Science's Division in Livermore
California.
In ’93, he returned to the Baltimore-Washington area, to
work at Goddard Space Flight Center, where he dealt with
such diverse areas as satellite trajectories, telemetry and
data analysis, to overseeing the primary Web Pages for the
HEASARC (High Energy Astrophysics). In '97, he went to work
for the DoD where he specialized in various security related
fields. In 2000, he moved to Spyrus Inc and worked on the
Public-Key Infrastructure, and Smart-card technology
specializing in security and exploits. In 2001, he moved to
SAIC and worked at various lettered Agencies in the
Washington area on a plethora of projects related to
ensuring data security. In 2007, he moved to G2-Inc
(http://www.g2-inc.com) which specializes in Information and
Mission Assurance technologies, where he has helped G2’s
customers gain an understanding of current adversary
threats, operations, and the defense of Federal networks.

Meeting & Scholarship Awards Dinner at the

There will be NO

plenty of business cards!
Our dinner speaker will be Thomas Kirby from Fluke
Networks talking about Network Management Technology.
If your enterprise has mission-critical
applications running across the network, monitoring and
managing performance issues from individual points of view
is extremely limiting. In this approach, different
groups would be responsible for different areas of the
enterprise and the network — the service provider would own
the local loop and port, the network group would only manage
CPE and usage, and the application group would oversee the
applications and servers. Even with these limitations, most
enterprises use that exact structure.
Network application integrity improves the efficiency,
security and troubleshooting at the intersection of
application and network resources. Common sense dictates the
value of network application integrity. However, most
enterprises are not close to understanding the detailed
intricacies of the relationship between individual
applications and the infrastructure. Taking into account a
dramatic increase in remote users and the increasing rollout
of Web-enabled applications, such as customer related
management (CRM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP)
systems, the pressure on the network — and network managers
in particular — has grown. Layering on the continuing
technological evolution of the network — from frame relay to
MPLS and Ethernet — increases responsibilities for the
network manager.
Bio for Thomas Kirby
Thomas Kirby was recently appointed the Federal Sales
Manager for Fluke Networks. Building on the rich history of
Fluke (in handheld testing devices) and the recent
acquisition of Visual Networks, Fluke Networks is the first
management platform to offer layer 1 through layer 7
monitoring and management. Currently, Thomas manages
carrier/integrator relationships, and manages opportunities
with these vendors and the Federal Government.
Additionally, Thomas has had several jobs managing
relationships (IBM, Motorola, Nextel) for large carriers.
Most recently he managed the relationship between Verizon
and the District of Columbia. Where he managed and
implemented over $20,000,000 in cabling and wiring upgrades.
