  9:10 am Battling Sophisticated Threats: Security Strategies For The Resilient Enterprise
    Antony Lee Antony Lee
Market Analyst, Asia/Pacific Software Research, IDC Asia/Pacific
    IT security discussions were once dominated by virus outbreaks, keeping script kiddies out of corporate networks, and having updated backups. But today's threat landscape has changed. Threats have become more multifaceted, networks have become more open, and hackers have become more targeted, better and faster. To make matters worse, the roles of IT infrastructure engineers and security managers have become broader with increased responsibilities. Senior management wants to hear about practices that contribute to the firm's success from them. External customers, suppliers, and partners want assurance that the infrastructure is well protected. IT decision makers need to put in place a security strategy to make the enterprise resilient and prepare for tomorrow's challenges in a cost-effective manner. This presentation presents the IDC Top 10 Security Predictions and highlights to the audience what to look out for across the security landscape in the near future. The speaker will also discuss the implications of the predictions and the best practices for security managers to keep the infrastructure secure and resilient.

  9:40 am User Delight or Security Compliance. Can They Co-Exist?
    Andrew Namboka Andrew Namboka
Chief Technologist, Asia Pacific, Nokia Enterprises Solutions
   

The challenge today extends beyond ensuring a secured network environment from external threats. Organizations are experiencing an evolution in threats at multiple levels from new vulnerabilities embedded within new applications, threat sources from inside the network and an increasing need to detect and mitigate against threats over different media. The network perimeter which we once knew well is rapidly dissolving and application access is demanded by users from more locations, devices and media. Methods and strategies from yesteryear are no longer adequate to form sound defences for corporate IT infrastructure in today's context.

It is however critical that the solutions and strategies adopted do not compromise on their needs to support corporate access and new applications to fuel growth. As threats evolve, so should your defences. It is of utmost importance to ensure that the strategy or solution adopted is robust & resilient enough to withstand this ever changing security landscape without compromising on access.

Hear how Nokia perceive the security & threat landscape and as a result provide solutions to assist businesses in achieving defensive postures that enables access without compromise.


  10:10 am Integrated Security and Compliance Monitoring
    Reed Harrison Reed Harrison
Chief Technology Officer, ISM Solutions, Novell Corporation
    If you don't know the answers to the basic security questions of Who's who?, What are they doing?, On what systems? and What do I do next?, then you're unlikely to pass a compliance audit. Compliance is the inherent result of an organized security program. This session provides a roadmap for changing the way you think about security and compliance, and offers suggestions to help you get organized and implement the right controls the right way.

  10:40 am Coffee Break

  11:00 am Chairperson's remarks
    Rasi Thirumalai Rasi Thirumalai
Regional Account Manager, IDC Asia/Pacific

  11:10 am Security Optimization: Integrated Vulnerability Assessment, Remediation, Audit and Reporting
    Neal Gemassmer Neal Gemassmer
Vice President, Asia Pacific, PatchLink Corporation
   

Yesterday meant fragmented security solutions with disparate threat data and a lack of centralized policy management and compliance reporting. Learn new approaches on how to tackle end point security management and the challenges of managing distributed, heterogeneous networks with detailed policy and compliance reporting requirements.


  11:40 am Optimal Application Delivery and Complete Line-of-Sight Control for Any Application
    Phu Hong Phu Hong
Senior Manager, Citrix Consulting, Citrix Systems
   

Businesses today are running more than ever on applications and with the increasingly mobile and global workforce and business partner connectivity, this ever changing business landscape is presenting a new set of challenges for IT teams to continue delivering applications effectively while enhancing data security and addressing new regulatory and compliance requirements. IT teams and key security executives such as Chief Information Office (CIO) and Chief Security Officer (CSO) need to protect and verify the security of its valuable information, while ensuring that its operations keeps pace with the business. Putting in place a robust application delivery infrastructure built on a secure-by-design foundation will enable IT teams to deliver applications efficiently and protect all types of applications- Windows®, Web and desktop - in any type of user scenario, including teleworking, mobile working, and the use of public devices at the same time.

In this session, Citrix will address key application delivery challenges facing businesses today and outline the six strategic points-of-presence where you can maintain a complete line-of-sight control for any application, keep sensitive data confidential and in the safest place, while strengthening security when delivering web applications to millions of customers and partners online.


  12:10 am Networking lunch

  1:30 pm Chairperson's remarks
    Rasi Thirumalai Rasi Thirumalai
Regional Account Manager, IDC Asia/Pacific

  1:35 pm NAC-in 90 days
    Craig Hawkins Craig Hawkins
Business Development Manager, Network Access Control, Sophos Asia Pacific
    Unauthorized endpoint computers pose significant security risks to organizations. Where underlying network-based enforcement is available, network access control (NAC) solutions provide detection and implementation of security policies to minimize these risks. In this presentation, Sophos will discuss how a software approach to NAC will provide protection against potential attacks arising from unauthorised access to the network.

  2:05 pm Moving Towards an Open Authentication Platform
    Tim Ayling Tim Ayling
Director, Asia Pacific, Entrust, Inc.
    Risk-based authentication is creating a challenge for organizations, driving them to support a variety of authentication mechanisms across applications and user bases. By shifting focus from authenticator interchangeability to authentication interoperability, organizations can ease the burden of customers by allowing for a single integration to support multiple, policy-driven authenticators.

  2:35 pm Coffee Break

  2:55 pm Chairperson's Remarks
    Rasi Thirumalai Rasi Thirumalai

  3:00 pm Turn Logs into Logic, and Logic into Action: Best Practices for Security Information Management
    Hugh Njemanze Hugh Njemanze
CISSP, Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President of Research and Development, ArcSight, Inc.
    As cyber-criminals get smarter and smarter, staying one step ahead of emerging security threats is getting harder and harder. More than ever, companies need to pay strict attention to network security, not only to defend against attacks and protect customer data, but also to satisfy a growing list of regulatory compliance issues. Organizations large and small have attempted to protect themselves by pouring millions of dollars into security solutions like antivirus gateway, firewalls and IDS. Bust this has led to a new problem: crippling complexity. As a result, companies are now burdened with trying to manage massive logs from hundreds and thousands of security devices, applications and systems from many different vendors. ArcSight enables enterprise to collect massive amounts of security data from heterogeneous sources, filter false positives, and then aggregate, correlate and prioritize for real-time monitoring and response.

  3:30 pm Join the Debate: "Security technology is all here. It's just the way we do things that are causing all the problems!"
    Antony Lee Moderated by Antony Lee
Market Analyst, Asia/Pacific Software Research, IDC Asia/Pacific
    The human being is often said to be the weakest link within the enterprise security infrastructure. Some even take it to the extreme saying that the human is not causing the problem. Rather, it IS the problem.Is this really the case, or is it just a convenient sacrificial lamb to mask the inadequacy of today's security technology? Or is it that security has not really been integrated into the business workflow? Is a well-aligned process for executing the security strategy the missing keystone? Join us for a debate with the different stakeholders!

  4:00 pm Closing Remarks

Regional Account Manager, IDC Asia/Pacific
