Leapfrog Your Global Competition: Rethink Security; Run At The Threat
Security & Risk Professionals must face threats head on in order to compete on a global scale. This year, we'll tackle everything you need to simplify your security architecture and repel sophisticated threats in order to help your company differentiate itself from global competition and win new customers.
Click here to view Laura Koetzle, Vice President, Practice Leader, and Forum Host, discuss rethinking security and running at the threat.
What does this mean? Whenever the business comes to you with a scary but possibly profitable idea, swallow your objections and say: "Sounds exciting. Let's figure out how to make that work." Unfortunately, many S&R organizations aren't ready to run at the threat. We're running legacy technology designed for a world before the rapid adoption of mobile devices and cloud services transformed end user and data center computing, and before advanced persistent threats (APT). We've also underinvested in skills and capabilities in analytics, incident management, and forensics.
This year, we'll dedicate Security Forum to running at the threat. Together, we'll tackle everything you need to rethink your security architecture, to evaluate and embrace risk safely, and, above all, to leapfrog your global competition.

"Plenty of thought provoking sessions, with a lot of notes for follow-up activities. Forrester Security Forum once again delivers quality and quantity of not to be missed presentations. Thanks."

"I think the two-day balance was great! I found the conference keynote speeches and track selection to be applicable to information needed to apply to current security trends. I found the One-On-One Meetings to be key."
