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

Developing, Implementing and Enforcing an
Internet Acceptable Use Policy (IAUP)
The Internet can be a wonderful source of information
that can enhance employee productivity and increase
the bottom line of your organization.
It can also provide access to a vast amount of
purely entertainment-related materials that can
threaten your organization.
Find out how you can easily develop an Internet
Acceptable Use Policy, communicate that policy
to your employees and monitor their use of the
internet.
A baseline Network Quality Assurance Assessment
is the first step to providing clear, empirical
metrics that will allow you to develop a policy
for your organization.
Productivity will increase with an IAUP in place,
coupled with enforcement using PC and Internet
activity Employee Monitoring Software.
With an IAUP backed by effective PC and Internet
activity monitoring software, employees will be
more focused and on task, arrive to work earlier
and stay later, take fewer breaks during the day,
and rarely - if ever - use PCs for frivolous or
inappropriate nonwork-related activity.

Lower Your TCO: Email Security in the Cloud
Learn how "in the cloud" email security
solutions can greatly reduce up-front investments,
minimize ongoing administration costs and minimize
time-to-value. Advances in cloud computing and
SaaS hold the key to achieving the lowest TCO
and maximizing your ROI, while providing the anti-spam,
anti-virus, DLP, archiving and encryption features
you need to meet today's email security challenges.
In this session, we'll discuss:
- What features - beyond availability, effectiveness,
and scalability -- you should consider when
evaluating email security solutions
- How "in-the-cloud" and hybrid solutions
can solve more unique business problems than
on-premises solutions alone
- How the latest innovations in email security
in the cloud, deliver more flexibility, control
and security than ever before
- How Total Cost of Ownership for in-the-cloud
and hybrid solutions stack up to traditional,
on-premises email security solutions
- Why now might be the right time to switch
to a next-generation, SaaS email security solution
to minimize your TCO

Trusted
Security For Less
Three issues underscore the need to secure digital
identities and information: risk mitigation, business
enablement and compliance pressures.
- When data is lost or stolen, organizations
incur both financial and brand damages.
- Organizations require greater information
flow to customers, partners and employees faster
and in real time to stay competitively viable.
- Regulatory agencies recognize the need to
protect identities and information and have
mandated certain requirements dictating the
handling of sensitive information.
Moreover, because of hackers, keystroke logging,
phishing and other attacks which grant access
to applications, perimeter security (anti-virus,
firewall, etc.) is no longer enough to protect
identities and information. Rather, organizations
should have trusted security - often SSL, strong
authentication, fraud detection, digital certificates
and PKI - which strikes the right balance between
affordability, expertise and service.
