IT Security Strategies: Weathering the Economic Storm |
| |
 |
Judy Wu
Research Manager, Infrastructure Software Research, IDC Asia/Pacific |
| |
While economic meltdown poses challenges, organization's security challenges have not gone away. Increasing sophistication of attacks, budget too small to cover necessary security purchases, lack of IT security experts within company, preventing exposure of confidential information and growing complexity of applications and standards will continue to create greater challenges for enterprise’s security management.
Security investments will become ever more important also as businesses need to hedge themselves from further damage caused by security attacks. And during a market downturn, companies need to hold on to their competitive advantage therefore protection of intellectual property is increasingly essential. |

Optimizing IT Security TCO in a Tough Economy |
| |
 |
Sam Ghebranious
Senior Sales Director Asia Pacific, Lumension |

Data Protection is high on the agenda right now; but also understanding the risks resulting from the presence of vulnerabilities and managing those vulnerabilities is becoming equally important. Traditional approaches used in providing security of endpoints have commonly been based on the fact that you need to know what the threat is before you can prevent it from impacting your network. In a world of uncertainty, the concepts of trusted computing and least privilege user access have been forgotten. This leaves the door open to data leakage through a wide array of malware and misuse of peripheral devices. This seminar examines the benefits of taking a positive approach to security, by defining what is allowed rather than what should be denied and simply denying the unknown by default. It will explore how to apply this approach in a typical large environment by first quantifying what activity is taking place prior to defining and enforcing an acceptable usage policy.
Are the traditional approaches to security still effective in your organisation? Do you now know how much data is leaking out of your organisation on peripheral devices such as USB storage?
Attend this seminar to see how Lumension provides a single source of integrated, scalable and effective operational security software solutions that remove risk from your technology, protect your information, and enhance overall IT efficiency and compliance. |

Better security with consolidation and virtualization |
| |
 |
Robin Liao
Technical Manager, Fortinet Asia South and Hong Kong |
| |
Enterprises today face myriad challenges, including that of growing security best practice while containing capital and operating costs at the same time. This causes CTOs to search for the best security solution, leading them to adopt UTM over point solution. Fortinet, the pioneer, leader and innovator of Unified Threat Management (UTM) security approach, is focusing on bringing the best solution and value to end customers. This helps to optimize cost and performance at the same time, enabling the CTO to deploy maximum security in the most efficient cost-performance approach. Fortinet’s virtualized security machines deploy VDOMs to enable great productivity and optimization when driving protection for enterprises and carriers today. Today, we will take this concept apart and piece it together to bring together the best security solution, taking your business to the next level of competency to outsmart your competition tomorrow. |

Software: Everyone's Unlocked Back Door |

 |
Sam Ng
CISSP, CISA, Regional Consulting Manager, Fortify Software Inc. Volunteer Speaker for (ISC)2 |

Security has focused on anti-virus and network security – but the most crucial part of business transaction is the application and its core data. However, nearly every major application in deployment today contains vulnerabilities that can be exploited to cause considerable harm to the business or the assets it manages. In this presentation, we will introduce basic techniques for securing software applications, making software inherently secure and able to protect itself against attack. |
