Next Generation Network Security Threats -- What to Protect Against in 2008

Targeted threats are on the rise as new vulnerabilities continue to propagate. Evolving threats are less broad then the mass-mailing worms of the past. Newer threats focus on individuals or a specific company combining malware and social engineering to trick the individual through subtle manipulation. This session will discuss the next generation of threats that networks will battle and how they can be protected from these attacks.

Understanding Managed File Transfer - Insights & Best Practices

As IT departments continually adopt new technologies to improve the performance of their systems, productivity of their end users and relationships with trading partners, they are faced with numerous challenges. One such challenge companies face today is securing and automating large file transfers. Traditional file transfer systems and mediums no longer meet the needs of most organizations or their trading partners, especially when data exposure is a concern. Many organizations have developed in-house solutions that are difficult to manage, lack the ability to track and audit file transfers, and expose the organization to security breaches. A Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution should be secure, easy to manage, and have the flexibility to integrate with existing technologies.

In this presentation, you will:

  • Gain a better understanding of the business challenges and drivers of file transfers.
  • Identify the security concerns around traditional file transfer systems and mediums.
  • Learn best practices to develop security architectures for file transfers.
  • Understand how a MFT solution can meet the needs of your stakeholders.

JCS

Comprehensive End-Point Security Solutions

  • Research shows that between 75% (Aberdeen Group, Ernst & Young) and 85% (FBI) of security breaches are committed by authorized internal users.
  • Internal studies by a major credit card provider concur that "all too often fraud or compromise can be traced to either a current or former employee."
  • CIOs and Security Officers report that this problem is at the top of their priority list (Gartner Group), and only about 10% of these breaches are ever detected (USA Today).
  • All this, and the fact that the average cost of an internal attack is a hefty $2 million per incident.

For a quick and easy way to manage your networked endpoints and servers, you'll want to learn about clientless offerings. They're fast, don't require software to be installed on your end-points and don't chew up all your network bandwidth.

Come to this informative educational opportunity and learn about Clientless Endpoint Security Management (CESM) technology. CESM solutions enable companies to maximize their security investment and ROI to ensure ongoing optimal operations of their I/T infrastructure.

A special gift will be available for all attendees who stop by the JCS & Associates, Inc. booth and drop off their business card, so don't forget to bring your business cards with you to this event.

Reduce the Burden of Compliance and Infrastructure Management

Organizations are straining under the burden of managing an increasing number of devices, tending to administrative matters and complying with regulatory requirements. As the IT staff is encumbered with tedious tasks, they have less time to spend on more strategic IT initiatives. In many organizations, a small team may be overwhelmed with all that's required of them just to maintain the systems that are in place. This session will discuss how Security-as-a-Service can help organizations gain control of their infrastructure, improve governance and enable regulatory compliance without requiring an additional investment in hardware or software.
