Preview Security Forum 2011 content with Forum host Laura Koetzle:

Successful businesses don’t work in isolation. Today’s businesses must constantly create new products and services, expand their geographic presence, streamline operations, and deliver top-notch customer service. To do this, your business will form new relationships with resellers, distributors, financiers, suppliers, and customers. Your firm will use cloud services to reduce the cost of business and IT operations, and it will unleash your employees’ and customers’ creativity with mobile, social, and video technologies. Most importantly, your business will create new ways to win and serve customers through its own cloud services and mobile customer applications. Thus, today’s Security & Risk (S&R) Professionals face a difficult challenge: You must support your businesses in delivering a seamless customer experience across this extended ecosystem, but you will still need to manage third-party risk, safeguard intellectual property, comply with a plethora of national and local privacy laws, and anticipate the next cybersecurity threat.

Sound like Mission: Impossible? This year, we will dedicate Security Forum to helping you meet that challenge. We will tackle everything you will need to drive business growth and differentiation — without compromising your ability to protect your business, your partners, and your customers.

Key Questions This Forum Will Answer

• How can you unleash collaborative innovation across your business’ partner and customer ecosystem while staying within your firm’s appetite for third-party risk?
• How can you secure your business’ intellectual property when employees need access to mobile and social tools to do their jobs?
• How can your efforts to ensure customer privacy, protect your business and your customers from fraud, and respond to cybersecurity threats help drive a superior customer experience?
