IT SECURITY

Discover Related Cross-Cutting ConcernsThe information age presents enterprises with a challenging security landscape as they seek to operate on a global scale, build IT capabilities to remain competitive, and fully leverage new business models. Security planners must adapt to ongoing “de-perimeterization” of the network, expanding compliance mandates, new malware exploits and an influx of career criminals into the online environment. Planners must also secure and enable loosely coupled application models; new collaboration tools; and real time communications media which promise to create an even more complex and distributed environment.

Hardened computer security systems, strengthened user authentication, and sustained user awareness programs are examples of necessary and “across-the-board” approaches which can be effective. Enterprises must create additional layers of defense that extend policy enforcement throughout network access points down to the individual hosts on the edge of the network. Policy enforcement must also protect critical applications and data, and the integrity of security infrastructure components for identity management, patch management, content control, and other components. Fundamentally, IT security organizations must develop a security management control system that cuts through today’s product category confusion and console chaos to provide holistic and measurable detection, remediation, audit, and policy management, and other capabilities. Conference speakers will clear up muddled market terminology, outline architecture alternatives; explain how the products fit together and what vendors need to do to take functionality to the next level. Attendees will also benefit from hearing about lessons learned during a variety of real-life customer implementations.
