This SASAG talk on firmware security for system administrators is this Thursday.
It will be an attempt to integrate NIST SP147’s firmware lifecycle model with the various hardware/software models sysadmins use (Hardware Lifecycle Model, ITIL, ITAM, etc.), to better represent firmware in that model, as well as recommend some open source tools to use.
It appears I had the location confused (correct address, incorrect name) in my initial post. The SASAG post has the proper name of and a Google Maps pointer to the event location:
