LISA: Where systems engineering and operations professionals share real-world knowledge about designing, building, and maintaining the critical systems of our interconnected world.

The LISA conference has long served as the annual vendor-neutral meeting place for the wider system administration community. The LISA14 program recognized the overlap and differences between traditional and modern IT operations and engineering, and developed a highly-curated program around 5 key topics: Systems Engineering, Security, Culture, DevOps, and Monitoring/Metrics. The program included 22 half- and full-day training sessions; 10 workshops; and a conference program consisting of 50 invited talks, panels, refereed paper presentations, and mini-tutorials.

Chris Shaiman is the Lead Network Engineer and Security Analyst for WatchGuard Technologies. Previously, he worked at Cingular Wireless and Xerox. Specializing in Networking and Security, he recently acquired his Certified Information Systems Security Professional certificate and has been enjoying building a more robust security program at his current employer. When not focusing on his love for networking and security related sciences, he is working on completing his hot yoga teacher training, and bioponic research.
