[PLUG-JOBS] Linux security

[Daniel M. Head]

Hey all,

The job req that I mentioned a couple of weeks ago... It's still open.
I'll be meeting with the client on Monday, but as we all know, there are no
guarantees in this life. If this looks interesting, it can't hurt to express
interest.

Here's what I know of the gig:
It's for a small semiconductor R&D shop here, with more of the company in
Taipai. Right now they have CentOS 5.3 and 5.4 on Dell servers. They don't
have an IT department, their Sr Design Engineer does the IT stuff. They’re
using Open VPN and Samba. Security with the rest of the company in Taiwan is
their primary concern; protecting the IP from theft. They’re looking for an
assessment of their security and systems, as well someone to develop a
backup/disaster recovery plan. The next priority is their email; currently
they’re using Google, they want some sort of groupware/collaboration
solution, and are considering implementing Exchange and Sharepoint. They may
be able to be talked into an open source alternative like Open-Xchange. They
are expecting the project to take a couple of months. They’re also moving,
around March, for bigger digs. This may be a chance for more work.

Email Darla Marmon (darlam at decisionci.com) if you're interested. Forward this
to anyone who may benefit.
