Forrester: - Making Leaders Successful Every Day

Event Overview

Today's European organizations are confronted with a myriad of security problems: more sophisticated incarnations of the same malicious code; faster exploitation of vulnerabilities; and a seemingly impenetrable jungle of regulations and standards. It's easy to surrender to despair ¿ and the multitude of security solutions out there that are supposed to give firms peace of mind often increase infrastructural and procedural complexity, making it seem that sound business goals are completely out of reach. The future is uncertain. While companies are sure to face further evolution of long-running threats, they also need to plan for new and unforeseen challenges. But there's no need to despair ¿ it's doable. Join us as we share ways to minimize the time you spend wrestling with existing risks and vulnerabilities and maximize the efficiency with which you prepare for the coming security challenges. During the Security Forum, we will:

• Share current security best practices. Implementing security practices that address known threats and challenges is like eating vegetables: We all know it's important to do, but it's often hard to practice what we preach. Find out how to make it easier.
• Examine the coming threat landscape. What do you need to do next? First of all, don't worry ¿ the sky isn't falling. But there's more to tomorrow's threats than a bigger, faster, and nastier version of today's threats. Find out how to prepare for them financially, procedurally, technically, and by building staff skills.
• Go beyond just "keeping the bad guys out." Enterprise security is far beyond the external threat paradigm now. We'll discuss: the insider threat and how to keep information from leaking outside the enterprise; mobile security and how to battle threats from and to mobile devices; and identity management and what kinds of solutions can help reduce complexity in your organization.
• Explain how to build security risk management discipline. Everyone's heard the "security's a category of risk like any other, so manage it like one" pitch by now. This isn't just a cynical ploy to unlock more money for the security budget ¿ but you need to push your risk model and metrics to the next level of sophistication. Let us show you how.
