Information Integrity:
The Key to Business Resiliency |
| |
|
 |
Sharon
Ruckman
Vice President, Product
Management, Security Management Products, Symantec |
| |
|
Businesses today survive or fail
on the strength of their information infrastructure,
a resilient network of systems that store and deliver
the data that drive the business and enable critical
decisions to be made. The effectiveness of a company's
infrastructure is dependent on the rapid, uninterrupted
availability of information whose value and quality
are unquestioned - information that has integrity.
In this presentation, delegates will learn how they
can put in place a three-step process of understand,
act and control to achieve the right balance between
information security and availability and create
the right information environment for their organization. |

more business value with less risk |

Business Continuity and Security
is a familiar topic in IT management. Most of the
time, it has been classified as part of our IT cost
element which we tend to seek for bare minimum requirements
to reduce cost. There is another angle that it could
be considered as an opportunity for increasing the
business value and we should embrace the business
opportunities that it could bring to us. In additional
to minimizing the operation risks, it would bring
us much more anticipated business values. |

Understanding
the Problems of Recovery (When the data centre fails,
will your business follow?) |
| |
|
 |
Ron Hawkins
Group Supervisor, Advanced
Technical Consultants, Hitachi Data Systems |
| |
|
We have all considered Business Continuity
in the event of a failure or disaster, and I'm sure
we all have some method in place to back-up our
data so we can recover from unfortunate events.
We all want our business up and running again as
quickly as possible.A lot of effort goes into choosing
the techniques to backup our data, but have we planned
for the time it will take to restore and recover
from that back-up? Have we asked ourselves how long
will it take? How much data is not recovered? Did
all my applications recover to the same time?The
speaker will discuss some of the problems of recovery,
and how common back-up methods affect how your continued
operation is challenged. |

Is securing email
a feasible goal? How can email be secured to provide
a safe and effective way of communicating? |
| |
|
 |
Ambika
Gadre
Director, Product Management, Applications, IronPort
Systems |
| |
|
Email security threats continue to
wreak havoc on corporate networks. More than 70%
of viruses are email borne and nearly 63% of all
Internet email is spam. This growing phenomenon
of email security threats has become a never ending
assault on the number one form of business communication.
Shrey Bhatia offers unique insight into the issues
surrounding the security of enterprise email and
offers solutions for effective, efficient execution
of secure email practices. He will explain the importance
of stopping unsolicited email through the identity
and reputation of the sender as well as speak about
a new solution that acts proactively to provide
a critical first layer of defense against virus
outbreaks. By detecting new outbreaks in real-time
and dynamically responding to prevent suspicious
traffic from entering the network, companies are
able offer protection until new signature updates
are deployed. |

The statistics of HKCERT and the results of the
surveys will provide valuable information for us
