Case Study Options

[sEc nErD <secnerd2004 () yahoo com>]

Hi all,

I am a security new bie ,started a job as a security
analyst on 
intrusion detection systems.Am thinking of taking the
GSEC exam,which first 
requires me to write a paper in field of security.I
want to write a paper 
on something which i could practically do and
implement,may be like a 
case study wherein i could use infrastructure at my
work.

We have IDS from real secure,cisco .Then we have
sniffer,then VPN 
concentrators,some vulnerabilty assessment stuff.

If you could suggest some case studies that will also
help me gain 
practical experience would be great,coz am fairly new
to security field,but 
my networking basics are strong as i have a masters in

Internetworking.I apologize if this is something which
is not supposed to be asked on 
here

thanks
