Comprehensive End-Point Security Solutions
Do you know the hundreds of ways your organization's
important data can be lost? The numbers don't
lie - more than 60% of information loss is due
to the
result of lost or stolen equipment. Because of
this, every laptop, PC, smartphone, or USB memory
device is a potential weak point in your organization's
security
strategy.
Come to this informative keynote session to learn
about workstation security vulnerabilities in
your organization and how you can deploy data
protection solutions where it really matters -
at the end-point. Learn how multi-factor authentication,
full disk encryption, port management and encryption
for removable media can all contribute to a more
secure and safer workstation
environment for your organization.

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, ISS will discuss emerging
threats to VoIP and the steps companies and end
users need to take today to protect themselves.
We 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
