The Quagmire of IT Security Regulation - Don't
get stuck in the mud
Virtually every organization is affected by at
least one information security or data privacy
regulation, which requires putting controls in
place to manage their IT infrastructure across
multiple functional disciplines. Although individual
requirements vary between companies and industries,
organizations still face the same challenges,
and yet new challenges have recently emerged.
Current IT operations and security problems challenges
include; lack of visibility, real-time identification
of non-compliant systems, too many tools, maintaining
continuous enforcement and configuration drift.

& how their nimble solution provides business
and technical advantages to the ever evolving
IT world.

Major Components of Risk Management: Consolidating
Endpoint Security Functions and Adding a Managed
Security Service for a Safer Business Environment
In general, we all want the world to be a place
where everyone can trust one another, and this
certainly holds true in the business world. Today,
however, with so much information out there, it's
no longer about blind trust. It's about being
able to see how everyone's using their endpoints
and your network and to make very clear what's
appropriate and that everyone follows the rules.
Acknowledging that the risk exists for the inside
employee or the outside hacker to misuse your
business resources and information, it is more
likely that trusted employees are doing something
accidentally or something they think is benign.
We've all heard about the large-scale cyber attacks
that make the news, but it's the under-the-radar
"accidents" that will take your business
for a long, expensive ride. Fortunately, there
are ways to recognize and proactively defend against
them.
By deploying at the endpoint a single-agent solution
that delivers multiple security functions managed
from a single console, you'll achieve greater
security than by using individual products from
different vendors or a suite of products from
a single vendor combining disparate technologies
that merely masquerade as a single agent. Monitoring
your perimeter and all communications with an
independent verification solution and adding a
managed security service greatly reduces risks
for your organization, while saving you time and
money.
Attend this informative presentation and learn
about the risk management advantages you'll get
by deploying a true single-agent endpoint network
security solution integrated with a managed security
service.

Slashing security costs and complexity : An
information-centric approach to data protection
Organizations are investing heavily in multiple
products to protect sensitive and personal data.
These include device-based defenses (such as disk
encryption), network-based defenses (such as VPNs
and Firewalls) and application-specific defenses.
What do they all have in common? They are, in
fact, all trying to protect the data - not the
device, not the network, and not the port. Taking
a piecemeal, device or network-centric approach
to data protection only increases costs and complexity.
Trends point to an information or data-centric
approach - that is, one that truly focuses on
protecting the data itself - at all times. This
logical approach reduces costs and complexity
and will serve as the security & privacy paradigm
of tomorrow.
This session will investigate the top 5 security
myths of today, the evolving nature of data and
why current approaches to protection are swiftly
becoming obsolete. We will further delve into
the promise of an information-centric approach,
the essential requirements of a solution, and
the roadmap of how this can be achieved.

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

Data Loss Prevention: The Enemy Within
IT departments at companies of all sizes are
concerning themselves about how to protect themselves
and their data against outside threats, such as
hackers and viruses. However, while their attention
is turned to options on how to keep these malicious
entities from entering their networks, IT departments
haven't realized that the greatest threat to their
data is already inside and has gained access -
the company's employees.
Insider threats are the number one cause of data
breaches. Fifty-nine percent of employees who
leave or are asked to leave a company - and have
access to proprietary information - will steal
company data. When a company has a fiduciary responsibility
to keep its intellectual property secure, how
can it implement a solution that won't adversely
affect day-to-day operations?
This presentation, given by Allen Brewer, Senior
Vice President of Flushing Savings Bank, will
delve into the ways insiders can get access to
a business' internal data, the options available
to securing data stored on a network from unauthorized
access and the guidelines and parameters that
need to be considered when implementing a security
solution.
