Theme

Businesses today confront more sophisticated incarnations of the same malicious code, faster exploitation of vulnerabilities, and attacks that hop from one platform to another instead of staying put. As if that were not difficult enough, we know that the future is always uncertain. Companies are sure to face further evolutions of long-running threats, but they also need to plan for the unknown. Join us as we share ways to minimize time spent wrestling with understood vulnerabilities and risks and help you prepare for the next security challenges your business will face. During this Event, we will:

• Share current security best practices. Implementing security practices that address known threats is like eating vegetables: We all know we should do it, but it's often hard to practice what we preach. Find out how to make it easier.
• Figure out what's next: We will examine the coming threat landscape. Don't worry, the sky isn't falling. But there's more to tomorrow's threats than bigger, faster, and nastier — and you can prepare for them financially, procedurally, technically, and with new staff skills.
• Take the next step toward building security risk management discipline. Everyone's heard the "security is a category of risk like any other (fire, flood, exchange rate), so manage it like one" pitch. This isn't just a cynical ploy to unlock more money for the security budget — but firms need to push their metrics and risk models to the next level of sophistication.

Key Questions This Forum Will Answer

• What security challenges and risks will businesses face tomorrow?
• What tools, skills, and processes must you cultivate to overcome those challenges and mitigate those risks?
• How can you transform security from a cost-of-doing-business item into an asset?
