Email Security Best Practices

As IT departments continually adopt new technologies to improve the performance of their systems and productivity of their end users, they are faced with numerous challenges. One such challenge companies face today is securing their messaging environments and business critical content for regulatory compliance, and against inbound and outbound threats. Understanding email threats, regulations, and encryption will help ensure that IT departments implement messaging and content security solutions based on recommended best practices. In this presentation, you will:

  • Gain a better understanding of email
  • Understand malicious email threats
  • Learn about compliance and regulations
  • Grasp email encryption concepts
  • Discover best practices for email security

VoIP Security Threats: It’s Not If, It’s When

As the epidemic of spam and malware continues to bring e-mail to its knees, one might think the industry would learn its lesson and build strong security into new communications protocols.

Unfortunately, in the case of VoIP, the most important new communications protocol since SMTP, this is not true. In fact, VoIP is following an eerily similar path to SMTP in the 70s and 80s, with few the security measures being widely enabled. As a result, we sit on the cusp of a new era of malicious VoIP attacks.

In this keynote address, Eric will discuss emerging threats to VoIP and the steps companies and end users need to take today to protect themselves. Chris will address a variety of important topics, including:

  • SMTP vs. VoIP: A comparative evolutionary study
  • The myth of SIP: it is marginally more secure than email protocols
  • Why encryption is being shut out of VoIP
  • The economic triggers for the first widespread VoIP attacks, and what those attacks will look like
  • VoIP phishing, aka “Vishing”
  • VoIP caller ID spoofing
  • VoIP as an access point for network intrusion

10 Data Protection Myths Dispelled

Fact or Faction: Companies only need tape backup for optimal data protection. Not sure? When it comes to managing your company's storage environment, it's hard to make good decisions without the proper insight. This presentation will outline the top 10 data protection myths and provide the tools you need to make the best decisions for data protection optimization. We will discuss common storage myths like "Won't clustering protect my company in the event of a disaster?" and "Isn't replication too expensive and complex for our server system?" and explain why these ideas are unfounded. We will also outline alternatives to clustering and illustrate how companies can use technologies like asynchronous replication in their storage environments to effectively protect important data and information.
